SAT 2 Math score good enough?

Applying to College
1

<p>I just checked Collegeboard and I got a 780 in Math Level 2. Is this score good enough for most UC's/Cal Poly/ and selective schools? I'm being serious because most of my friends get 800's, so I'm worried a 780 might be a bit lower. Is there really a difference between a 780 or 800?
Thanks</p>

<p>780 and 800 are nearly the same thing…You will absolutely get the benefit of the doubt, it should not be considered low. Honestly, thats a difference of maybe 1 question that could have been a quirk.</p>

<p>You’re fine, relax.</p>

<p>Please go brag elsewhere.</p>

<p>20 points is a negligible difference. It’s probably approximately the difference between one version of the test and another.</p>

<p>Sorry guys…didn’t try to brag. As I said, lots of people I know get 800’s and I heard someone once say that you look bad if you dont get perfect because of the large number of people who do get 800’s. Thanks for your help, sorry if I was bragging, definitely tried avoiding it.</p>

<p>I think it is a legitimate question; don’t jump to conclusions so quickly. That said, I believe the difference between 780 and 800 is negligible. It is certainly good enough for even the engineering departments of the schools you mentioned.</p>

<p>Alright thanks. Yes it is a legitimate question haha was trying my best to word it so it doesnt seem like im bragging.</p>

<p>Barely any difference, not to worry. There are bigger things in life than 20 points on a subject test. Have a nice day.</p>

<p>Even if you got a 750, it would not have made a difference. I got a 740 and don’t plan on retaking. I know for a fact that I can easily get an 800. The last thing I want to do though, is portray myself as someone that is crazy about grades.</p>

<p>I know it’s hard to accept it, students who are good in math but didn’t score 800 on math 2 subject test. The problem for my daughter was with the proctor messed up her test day. My daughter has to swallow her pride and accept it. It’s probably good for her character. Not everything goes her way in academics.</p>
