<p>I was a junior this past year. I recently took calculus 2 at a local community college and got an A, so when I took my SAT IIs on june 7th, I was sort of expecting an 800 on math II. Apparently you can miss 3-7 questions, depending on the curve, and get an 800, which I thought I had done, but instead I got a 790. I don't think I should retake it, but given my strong math background, I'm still wondering.
Any advice?</p>
<p>Don't retake a 790; colleges know that if you're capable of 10 points under an 800, you're capable of an 800 also :)</p>
<p>If you get a 780 or 790, you look like what I like to call an 800 Hound. It looks odd to colleges. You probably shouldn't do it. I agree with the first response.</p>
<p>if you retake it**</p>
<p>RETAKE IT AND YOU WILL REGRET.
There is no point retaking it. Colleges do not care much if you scored above 750</p>
