<p>I have 3 subject test scores:
750 math ii
670 physics
660 us history</p>

<p>People have been telling me that the physics and history scores aren't good enough to send in... I'm not buying this given that both are above a 650... thoughts?</p>

<p>It really depends upon the level of colleges you are targeting. The 660-670 are below the 50th percentile.</p>

<p>650 is usually around the median score. Your Physics and US History scores are actually below the 50th percentile.

<p>US History - 51% scored better than you
Physics - 55% scored better than you</p>

<p>If you are applying to a top 20 school don’t send them. If you are applying to schools below that go ahead. Those percentiles these people are listing are extremely skewed. They do not represent the average in the sense of all high school students college bound. Most people taking SAT IIs are aspiring for a top 15 school. Therefore since your scores are below this bounded ‘average’ do not send them to the average school people of this caliber are sending their scores to.</p>
