Necessary to take bio SAT II again with a 720?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>Last year, I took the US History and Biology SAT II's. On USH, I scored an 800, while in Bio I got a 720. In October, I plan on taking the Math Level 1 test (although math isn't exactly my thing), and I am wondering whether I should take Bio again as well.</p>

<p>I understand that a 720 isn't too shabby, but I would probably do at least somewhat better the next time around. </p>

<p>Given the fact that I plan on applying to some low-mid level Ivy Schools (read: not HYP), is it necessary for me to take Bio again? (Btw, I got 5's on the APBio and APUSH tests if that makes any difference) Thanks!</p>

<p>anybody? I kind of need to know soon</p>

<p>No, Bio has harsh curves</p>

<p>720 is good enough for “low-mid level Ivies”. Since math may not be your strong point definitely focus on that instead of juggling bio and math together.</p>

5

<p>no, do not retake your bio sat II’s. it’d be a waste of time to do so.</p>

<p>and no ivy leagues are low level</p>

6

<p>700+ and you’re good. So you’re good :)</p>

7

<p>If ur applying to MIT and Caltech, absolutely. Aim for 750+</p>

<p>^ MIT & Caltech admissions people have both told me that 700+ is the norm. What MIT/Caltech cares most about are your EC’s and School grades.</p>

<p>sorry bump</p>

<p>i have to bump</p>

<p>If you’re 700+, no need. As far as the score is concerned theres a chance you might end up with the same or a worse grade.</p>

12

<p>I think you are just fine based off everyone’s response.</p>

<p>May I ask what schools you are applying to?
Some schools favor the subject test more than others</p>

<p>Not at all, 720 is a great score for the bio subject test.</p>
