<p>Sorry if the question has been answered before, but just for clarification, i got a 770 on the math 2c (i know this is good enough) but if I intend to major in engineering, how much does the last 30 points affect my prospects. I don't plan on retaking if there isn't that much of a difference, but considering the percentiles, I'm just not sure. Could someone please clarify?
Thanks</p>
<p>well, it depends on what school you what to go to.
somewhere like Cal Tech, you might want to, but other places, that is probably good enough.</p>
<p>If i don't intend on going to a technologically-oriented school like MIT and Caltech but instead intend on applying directly to a school's Engineering school, like Berkeley for example, is 770 good enough?</p>
<p>Yes ( 10 char)</p>
<p>Really, so many people think SATs are so important when they're in fact a very small part of the decision for most colleges. I mean, think about it. You're an adcom officer, you're looking at two people. One has a 770 on the Math IIc and the other has an 800. That's a difference of maybe two questions incorrect. Does that matter? Maybe the 770 person was having a bad day. Maybe the 800 person guessed on a couple questions and got lucky. It really makes such a small difference that it seems silly to worry about it.</p>
<p>Save your money, don't retake it.</p>

<p>The difference between a 770 and 800 is more like 5 questions. Keep in mind the test is only 50 questions.</p>
