<p>Hey. I wanted to know if a 750 in Chemistry, on the SAT II, is a good scores for someone applying to top schools (Princeton, Stanford, etc.) for a major in Chemistry. </p>
<p>Thanks!!!</p>
<p>i don't know, but I got a 730 in Chem and I always want to go pre-med at a tier one college.
I'm thinking about retaking it. . .</p>
<p>i'm sure it's fine. if you retake it too many times, you might come off as someone uptight with nothing better to do than take tests. The difference between 750 and 800 isn't all that much, so I wouldn't sweat it.</p>
<p>Bump Bump Bump</p>
<p>If you're sure you can bump it up to something closer to 800, (which I'm guessing is what you want) then retaking it one more time is perfectly fine. </p>
<p>750 is a great score, IMO.</p>
<p>750 is dead-on. You know colleges don't take individual scores, exactly, they put people in categories, like 550-600, 600-650 etc. I was freaking out because I got a 770 on Biology and my friend got 800, I felt like such a failure, until I found out about the grouping. 800 looks fantastic, but they consider you on the same level if you're mid-700s.</p>
<p>Are you sure about that? Do they see the EXACT score, or the grouping? Is this all colleges?</p>
<p>They see the exact score, of course, but I think they consider you according to the area you hover around. They know that on a different test day, you could have taken the same subject test and gotten a slightly lower or higher score. It's the luck of the draw what questions they ask. So if I get a 760, I might have as easily gotten a 740 or 780 on a similar test. So the exact score is important, but for big places it's where you generally are that counts.</p>
<p>Small colleges should do that too. It's only fair.</p>
<p>bump!! it up!</p>
