Retake 2050 SAT I and 700 Math IIC ?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Here are all my SAT scores...</p>

<p>Math 1- 670 (10/08)
Math 2- 700 (6/09)
Biology M- 680 (6/09)</p>

<p>SAT I - 1/10
600 Reading<br>
740 Math<br>
610 Writing</p>

<p>SAT I - 5/10 ... 2040)
590 Reading<br>
760 Math<br>
690 Writing</p>

<p>I'm looking at some good schools- CMU, JHU, Cornell, Columbia, BC, UW Madison, UChicago, Macaulay honors college</p>

<p>So I was wondering if I should study all summer and then take the SAT I in October, hoping for a higher reading scoer (a HUGE weakpoint). Also, since I am taking Chem in June (I'm pretty sure I will score higher than i did on Bio), should I retake my Math II? And lastly.. should I not bother sending my lowish Bio and Math I scores?</p>

<p>Good luck at JHU, Cornell, Columbia with those scores.
Retake</p>

<p>It’s interesting that you scored higher on the SAT I math than either of the subject tests, considering the subject test curves are rather generous. </p>

<p>I would recommend you to retake the SAT and Math II (you don’t need to redo both).</p>

4

<p>also, be sure that those schools don’t require ALL test scores. Columbia definitely does.</p>

5

<p>You need higher scores for those schools. </p>

<p>Have you looked at the mid-50 score ranges for those schools?</p>

<p>for instance…</p>

<p>Columbia… middle 50% of students</p>

<p>SAT Critical Reading: 680 - 770<br>
SAT Math: … 690 - 780<br>
SAT Writing:… 680 - 770 </p>

<p>Your scores are too low. </p>

<p>Since you’re applying to Macaulay Honors, I’m guessing that finances are an issue. IF that is true, then retest (take both the SAT and ACT) and also apply to a couple of schools that will give you assured BIG merit for your stats. You’d need some financial safety schools.</p>

6

<p>Retake. Get a 800 on math and at least a 2150-2200 on SAT.</p>

7

<p>Yeah those are just the tip top schools i’m looking at. Others are Stony Brook, BU, Northeastern, St Johns and Adelphi (both i will get a lot of merit for)</p>

8

<p>Retake…You know that the avg score of SAT II math IIC is about 620…</p>

9

<p>And perhaps my chances arent THAT bad… from my school, according to naviance…
Avg score accepted to CMU (Me)
GPA- 94.63 (96.92)
SAT- 1301 (1360)
/2400- 1983 (2050)</p>

<p>you’re easily in at Macauly, but you’re going to have a hard time at all the other privates, def retake and aim for 2150 +</p>
