Sat II good enough?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Math IIc: 760 (I was expecting 780-800... I got 800 on sat math and I just finished ap calc BC)
Chem: 750 (I've taken two years of chem... honors and AP... I was expecting this score or so)
Lit: 690 (I decided the night before to take it and when I did I did HORRIBLE and I was completely freaking out... so I'm pumped I didn't do that bad)</p>

<p>But... I'm trying to get into MIT and ivy schools... should i retake all of them??? if not, which one(s)???</p>

<p>I really didn't prepare that much for anything... lol... maybe like 2 hours for chemistry and 4 hours for math IIc and 0 for lit</p>

<p>I think you should retake the Math and Lit. Math2C if you prepare a little bit this summer im confident you can do 800. And Lit just so you can get 700+.</p>

<p>Perhaps you should retake Math IIC and Chemistry for MIT and such, because 760 and 750 would have really low percentiles. Heck, 800 was only 80th percentile on IIC and 780 was only 90th percentile on Chemistry.</p>

<p>So retake all of them? I'm definiltey retaking lit because I know I can do better considering the meltdown I had during it. So the schools wouldn't care that I've taken them 2 times? (these are the only sat IIs that I have) Should I pick a new subject or just focus on raising these 3?</p>

<p>It would probably be better if you take Physics or Bio next instead of Chemistry, that way you can report a higher score if you do better in it, and colleges would just see that you tried a new subject. Don't know what you can do about IIC though, seems like you have no choice but to thake the same thing again.</p>

<p>Sorry to steal your thread but what about my scores?
Math IIc 790
Latin 780
French 720</p>

<p>Are they all right for HYPS? If not which ones should I retake or should I pick a few more to take instead? Thanks!</p>

<p>yo 780 for chem isnt that like a 95th %ile</p>

8

<p>I've only had one year of physics (honors, next year is AP for me) and I took honors bio as a freshman and AP as a sophomore... so I don't really remember it. If I studied bio over the summer could I really do better than a 750?</p>

9

<p>Don't know about Bio, since I didn't do too well in it. But did you take Physics this year? I took one year of regular physics, read the Giancoli textbook for 3 days or so, and did really well on it, so I think it may be an easy 800 subject test.</p>

<p>Oh right 780 chemistry is 95th percentile. Still sounds low though.</p>

<p>You wouldn't happen to know what percentile 790 in US History is, would you?</p>

<p>Heh, I was off by a bit. Good thing you already have the correct information.</p>
