<p>Something around that range, I guess.
Moral of the story: just try not to get anything wrong XD</p>
<p>Wow, that’s a really nice curve compared to the math part of the normal SAT. Sure the material might be harder, but I still prefer that to the "miss one question and not get an 800"ness of the normal SAT. I got a 790 on the math section of the SAT (probably for a mistake in the work lol, taking it again though).</p>
<p>Haha right! I tend to make a lot of arithmetic mistakes (legit ones, like 13=16x, x=16/13, I’ve done it before) so the normal SAT normally makes me pretty mad since I can set all the problems up right and get the trick, I just can’t subtract:P. And yes, I know limits/polar. The topics I don’t remember well are complex numbers and matrices, I haven’t dealt with those in a while. 6 wrong and still an 800 (b.c.s)? Nice. </p>
<p>I don’t take Bio and I’m taking the chem one along with the two maths. I was going to take the physics one but I’m not as comfortable with it as I’d like to be, so I’ll probably take that subject test come October or November if my chem one isn’t good enough [though, I’m pretty good at chem so I’m hoping I don’t have to take another round of subject tests]. And yeah, I’m in ‘officially’ in AB Calc but my teacher chooses ~5 kids to take the BC test and I’m one of them. That reminds me, I need to learn series and sequences this week. yey!</p>
<p>Greetings fellow applicants. I too have applied for the program and am waiting anxiously for a response. After reading through some of the thread I must say that I am very impressed and look forward to the opportunity to work with you should myself and others here be accepted. </p>
<p>This “you can miss six questions and still get an 800 on the Math II” rumor is not accurate. It changes from year to year, and I know for a fact that getting them all correct but leaving one blank on the May 2013 exam gave you a 790.</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Yep I’m his younger brother, Emmanuel. And yeah my profile pic was at Cambridge. What’s your name?</p>
<p>@Fredsterboard I’ll probably major in something related to chemistry or biology. I’m not sure yet.</p>
<p>I’m taking the Chemistry and US History SAT Subject Tests. I’m taking AP Chem and APUSH so I might as well take them now since I’ll be studying for the AP exams anyways.</p>
<p>Although this is most likely completely unrelated, on my MITES account there is an identification code with a letter followed by a dash and a sequence of numbers. Perhaps I just never noticed this prior to logging in recently but has this identification code always been there for you guys?</p>
<p>Guys, just don’t take Math I. It’s a waste of time and money as most colleges won’t take it seriously for engineers anyway. The reason some colleges accept it is if you don’t have the opportunity to take pre-calc(which is on Math II) at your school. Math II is not that hard if you’ve done pre-calc and study a little bit.</p>
<p>If you need a third test, consider a humanities or language to make yourself seem well rounded.</p>
<p>And also, I’m not sure if SAMS results are out, but if you’re talking about the free one for minorities, that’s definitely not easy to get into either, so hopefully you guys have more backups.</p>
<p>@AstroAero That has always been there. Don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Thanks! @Korcha</p>
<p>Well, luckily I havn’t signed up for the subject tests yet (taking them in June). Not really sure what to take as my third one though, they’re all languages and history. What kind of subject tests do other colleges look at because I know MIT is only Math + Science. I might do physics, but I’m not sure how much it covers compared to the different AP Physics classes.</p>
<p>If you want to be an engineer, your science should be chemistry or physics. You don’t <em>have</em> to take a third one.</p>
<p>I have a voucher from my school that pays for me to take 3 in one setting, so it would be a waste to not taking anything at all. Do you get to pick what order you take your subject tests in?</p>
<p>Yeah they just hand you a book and an answer sheet and you pick the order, the number of tests, and which tests <em>at</em> the testing facility if you so choose. Some colleges request ALL subject test scores, so be careful about taking one you’re not prepared for.</p>
<p>@AmaranthineD Most colleges require only 2 subject test right? Because the only ones I’m taking are Chem and Math 2. I was going to take U.S. History or something, actually I was thinking of taking Chinese, but then it said don’t take it if its a native language. So does 2 subject tests sound all right? or should I take another one?</p>
<p>Chem and Math 2 are fine. They were the only two I was planning to take, but at the last minute I panicked and swapped out Lit for Math II two days before the test with no studying, which worked out fine. XD</p>
<p>There are a couple that do “recommend” three, so be sure to check: Georgetown is one, I think. Also, if you plan on applying outside the US, they have different subject test requirements.</p>
<p>As far as SAT II Math, I do know LOTS of MIT students who only took Math 1. Going back to that holistic process, if you’ve taken it beginning of junior year, before you took a more advanced math class, and did great on it, you could focus the rest of your time preparing for your other exams instead of feeling the need to take Math 2. But of course as was mentioned, if you’re trying to improve your score (or if you’re taking it for the first time) and can take Math 2, go for it!</p>
