SAT II concern

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>So, I have a concern about my SAT IIs. For some, it may be a very arrogant concern; for some, a trivial one.</p>

<p>So I took SAT II Math IIC, Physics, and Biology, on which I got 800, 800, and a 740 respectively.</p>

<p>The biology one, I took this May (which I thought was pretty hard, yet the percentile showed that many people actually did well), and the 740 is bothering the heck out of me. Now, I'm worried if that score is OK from the point of view from the college admissioners, especially when I have two other perfects. In addition, how much effect will that 740 have on my chance if I apply to a pre-med or a 7 yr med program, where I would assume biology would be an important factor?</p>

<p>Do you think it's a right idea to retake it in November? (I'm reserving October for something else)</p>

<p>No. Your scores are fine, particularly since most schools require only 2.</p>

3

<p>lots of ppl pre-med, w/ sero SAT 2s</p>

4

<p>Yeah. Don't let it bother you.</p>

5

<p>your scores are fine !_!</p>

6

<p>you're okay peep don't let it bother you.</p>

7

<p>nice scores =) how did you prepare to get that 800 in physics? im trying to self study and need a score a like that.</p>

8

<p>same here, i really want an 800 self studying.</p>

<p>But for the colleges that ask 3 SAT subjects, isn't it better to have at least one of them in the humanistic subjects? All my friends told me I have a better chance in the latter case, but it's not specified anywhere on the internet, at least I haven't found it anywhere.</p>

<p>Now that's a different question - rather than retaking the Bio test, taking a humanities test. I don't really think it's necessary if you're going into the sciences anyway. If the schools don't specify, they don't care. Check the websites; some say that they want 3 tests in different disciplines. If so, call them and ask.</p>
