SAT subject tests

<p>So I need to take math 2 in october, but I already passed the regular registration date and I don't want to pay 70 dollars for the late fee. I'm applying early to dartmouth. Will a 650 bio, 710 chem hurt my chances? If it is too detrimental, should I just pay 70 dollars and take math 2 in october?</p>

<p>I thought you could use the Nov test date as well and the results would still get there in time for ED according to the Dartmouth website: [Early</a> Decision](<a href=“Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions”>Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions)</p>

<p>Early November

<p>Did I miss something there?</p>

<p>I just signed up for october. I’m afraid of taking it as late as november.</p>

<p>Unless you have a hook, any test number that starts <7 is a significant detriment to your app. I would guess that the mean Subject Test scores are similar to SAT score, i.e., ~750.</p>

<p>The mean SATII’s are probably higher than 750. I would say that your scores are way too low. Try to have both be in the 750+ range. Most of my friends got 800’s on at least one SAT II.</p>

<p>If you think you’ll do better on math (or any other tests), I’d take it…I don’t know about 800’s, but I’d say 750ish would be a good target.</p>

<p>Are SAT IIs still required if I submit and ACT plus writing score?? The website is somewhat ambiguous on the matter. Can AP scores replace SAT II scores?</p>

<p>Yes, and No.</p>

<p>Guys I’m really worried. I have a 800 and 760. Are they good enough for Dartmouth?</p>

<p>Try to shoot for a 900.</p>

<p>zackfasho, It is my understanding that the ACT with writing can sub for the SAT, but you still must submit two SAT II scores with it.</p>

<p>Wait seriously, I’ve looekd at Dartmoutha pplicants and they’re all pair 800s, I have a 760! How badly will that hurt my chances?</p>

<p>It wont “hurt” your chances at all. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>iPacman…if you are serious :slight_smile: … an 800 and a 760 are fine. Two scores above 750 seem to be a good target, as others have said.</p>

<p>Well as long as they look at the top scores, then my 650 shouldn’t hurt me. I’m hoping for higher than a 750 on math 2.</p>

<p>Not necessary. An 810 is plenty good enough for Dartmouth.</p>
