SAT II Percentile... WHAT?!

Test Preparation
1

<p>I recently received my SAT II scores via post mail and I was perplexed by what I saw...</p>

<p>My Bio-M score was 750, yet this was in the 88th percentile range
My Math II score was 710, yet this was in the 68th percentile range</p>

<p>How do they figure this?</p>

<p>10% of people who take math II get 800s. by nature the kind of people who think they can take the math II are better at math than the ones who took math I.</p>

<p>Yep, a lot of people who take subject tests know their subject well and max out on the scoring scale for the test they take. </p>

<p>Here is a chart of SAT Subject Test percentile ranks: </p>

<p>Yeah, I know... The percentiles on the SAT II's are SO much different than that of the AP exams.</p>
