Retake SAT II

<p>Ok i plan to retake my MATH II C SAT II becasue i scored 720. I dunt know whether I should retake bio which i got 730 in. I only want to take two SAT's so should I take Bio or something else.</p>

<p>Your Bio score is decent but I would definitely retake that Math score 730 is horrendous (well not horrendous but bad)</p>

<p>Horrendous is a bit harsh.</p>

<p>The average score for Biology E is 593, Biology M is 630, and Math II is 644. The fact that you didn't get an 800 isn't a bad thing. If its bothering you, I would take the next month to review and take it again. Chances are you'll do better.</p>

<p>As long as you feel like you know you can do better, than always retake it.</p>

<p>IMO, a 720 is not a bad score. Nor is a 730 in BIO a bad score.</p>

<p>It all depends on WHO you're comparing with and with what school's averages you are referring to meadow36.</p>

<p>I assume he/she is aiming for HYPSM</p>

<p>I thought a 700+ was decent for HYPSM. Even for Math II.</p>

<p>In any case, 720 is certainly NOT a "horrendous" score. Don't put people down like that, meadow36. I have friends in Stanford who got in with 730s - granted, this doesn't say much about how their SAT II score was regarded (the person is a fantastic writer, great grades, ECs, truly exceptional) but shows that it won't necessarily harm you.</p>

<p>okay sorry i was in bad mood at that time, I'm sorry if i offended you OP. But in all honesty due to Math IIC curve I'd consider 750+ a good score.</p>

<p>Yeah 720 is definitely not a bad score! But it's a really low percentile. (I got a 760 and it's 79% percentile!..so I'm retaking.) If you know you can do better, retake it for those top schools. If not, you might want to try a different subject.</p>

<p>^yeah I guess I really was going off of percentile....</p>

<p>just out of curiousity, what percentile is a 790?</p>

<p>For Math IIC its 89%....yeah.</p>
