<p>Whether to retake or not depends on the colleges you're aiming for.</p>

<p>thanks for that link GoldShadow. I now know that I only scored in the 61 percentile, even though I got an 800 (in Chinese).</p>

<p>but if you're not a native speaker of it, then you should look here for more accurate percentiles for the language tests: <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SubjTests_Lang_StudiedinHS.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SubjTests_Lang_StudiedinHS.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Since the test groups are small and self-selected, particularly for languages, percentiles don't matter for subject tests.</p>

<p>That's relieving. Some of the percentiles are awful. 61 percentile for 800 in Chinese?? Someone with a 700 must be kicking themselves in the a*s right now... :P</p>
