<p>Last year I received a 770 in the Chemistry Subject Test while taking a Chemistry Honors course (Non AP). Should I retake? Is this an adequate score for competitive schools? </p>
<p>My only concern is that is said I was in the 85th percentile.</p>
<p>Any responses? Please.</p>
<p>^ Percentile don’t matter for SAT 2’s</p>
<p>Anything 750 or higher is competitive.</p>
<p>700 or higher is qualied or pretty competitive</p>
<p>650 or higher is respectable.</p>
<p>To expand on shaheiruddin’s point…</p>
<p>Most of the people taking SAT Subject Tests are competitive students.
By being 85% percentile, its saying that you are in the top 15% of a group of already “good” students.</p>
<p>Percentiles do matter. Anyhow, 770 is a solid score and does not warrant retaking.</p>
