<p>I took the exam. 750. Would that hurt my chances of getting into MIT? I plan on taking Physics, but that hasn't happened yet so...</p>
<p>I got an 800 on Math II on the same test date as a sophomore. Would a 750 hurt my chances that much?</p>
<p>Also, please don't provide the usual SAT ranges given by the colleges. I've already browsed through enough of those.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>of course an 800 is better than 750, but I REALLY don’t think they will be looking to make an admission decision based on 50 points.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that anything >700 =800 in their minds, they know the score only represents an hour of your life lol</p>
<p>honestly I understand the 1 hour of your life thing but these tests are pretty easy… with this kind of curve I’d have to question someones science ability if they get < 750.</p>
<p>Well, I know the score doesn’t reflect my aptitude in chemistry; I took AP without taking the regular honors or CP course so I was just a bit lost throughout the year, but right now, I’m very confident in my chemistry ability. Is it worth retaking to improve 20-50 points though?</p>
<p>I think that 750 on science puts you in the middle 50% of admits, I really don’t think getting 20-50 points more is going to change what your admission decision is, and is probably not worth the money, but it is really up to you</p>
<p>For a different perspective:</p>
<p>My son took the Math SAT II in 8th grade and got 760. He went ahead and retook it last year as a junior just because he’ll be a math major and figured it would look better to have an 800. He also has an 800 on physics and a 730 in literature. (Never took the chem-he bailed on it this year)</p>
