SAT II Physics

Test Preparation
1

<p>I just received my SAT II Physics score yesteraday and I scored 760...I was really expecting more than that...and I am applying to Williams, Dartmouth, and Duke...Does my score hamper my admission decision?</p>

<p>No, it definitely will not. Nor will it help you get in.</p>

3

<p>750+ are typically regarded as being equal, so I wouldn’t worry about it.</p>

4

<p>what about 740 vs 750+?</p>

<p>You should not have to worry about scores under 730.</p>

<p>Actually, lol, you may have to worry about scores under 730, but not anything over it:) fmlfml, no single score can end up determining the fate of your college application. It’s a combination of multiple factors: what you GPA is in that course, how rigorous is your curriculum, how well you did on all your other SATIIs and other standardized tests, and so on. A 740 in physics may be a great score for someone whose passion lies in the humanities, but may be considered weak for another who is trying to get into a highly selective engineering school and whose GPA in that course is already relatively average. It all depends. Just my opinion.</p>
