SAT Math2 Scores for Engineering applicants

<p>What is an acceptable range for the SAT Math2 subject test? I believe this test is required for engineering applicants. </p>

<p>My son did well on the general SATs and his other two subject tests (physics and US history), but does not have a great feeling about Math2 that he just took in October. He could take it one more time in November-but really wants to take the general SATs one more time.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>OPTION 1: SAT Reasoning Test and two SAT Subject Tests: one Math exam (Math Level I or II) and one science exam (either Physics or Chemistry).
OPTION 2: ACT with the Writing Section.
(When taken multiple times, we will use your highest subscore for each section.)</p>

<p>No one really talks about their SAT scores ever, so I can’t really give you a good figure. The interquartile range for the SAT non-subject-test Math score is 680-760, I believe, and engineers are probably on the upper end of that.</p>

<p>What is well for general SATs? Well means very different things to different people.</p>

<p>Many engineering applicants are great at math. Due to SAT II Math’s ridiculously easy curve, there will be a lot of 800’s. The majority would still be above the 700 I would guess.</p>

<p>^I agree. There are a lot of 800s, and for boys especially, i would think the engineering pool sees Math Level 2 scores that are mostly above 750</p>
