<p>I do not know what is wrong w/me: i have taken all science courses possible from chem II to Physics II c/b to calculus BC and i have recievd 5's on all APs as well as "A's" in all classes. I am ranked number one/1000 with an 800 in math level 2 SAT and a 790 in bio sat, YET i took the SAT twice and recieved a 700/710 on the math. Then i took the ACT and recieved a 35 on math/science, but average score is like a 2190. Any advice? Should i retake the SAT in hopes for a 800 on math, and will it look bad if i get yet another miserbale 700? Do the admission officers focus more on my courses or this Mulitple choice SAT/ACT test???</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I wouldn't worry too much about the SAT, you did well on the ACT and you have plenty of other stuff to show you're not bad at math. You should spend your time working on other areas instead of devoting it to a test. A 710 isn't a particularly high math score for Caltech, but it's not too low and it seems you have enough to show that it might not be an issue.</p>

<p>I scored lower on the math section of my SATs than the other two sections.
