<p>is my Bio SAT II scores..
I took Bio E and M consecutively one after the other in my sophomore year
and got the same exact scores!</p>

<p>I got 660; very embarassing=]</p>

<p>anyways, my parents are telling me to forget about them and do well on Chem SATII (I am taking it at the end of my junior year- after AP Chem).</p>

<p>so, I was wondering if I should retake Bio and get a 800 (hopefully).</p>

<p>Do you think colleges would care if I took a tests for THREE times?
Would they rather be impressed by an improved score (800)?
Or,, should I just listen to my parents and not take it again..?</p>

<p>Please help me out.. i've been troubled by this issue for more than a year.
Thanks.</p>

<p>Well, I think colleges always look for improvement, so that might be good. It does also depend on how well you do on the other SAT II's. Some colleges just take the highest scores and don't look at how many times you took a test, so if that's the policy of the schools you're applying to, you might want to retake it and see how you do.</p>

<p>I don't think "improvement" matters one bit with the SAT IIs; they'll generally just consider your highest (required) scores and that's all. Just make sure you have 2-3 high scores (750+) to send.</p>
