<p>I am applying ED to Duke. I took the ACT, and read that they recommend subject test. I later found out after taking the SAT IIs that you can submit the ACT in lieu of the SAT and SATIIs. Would I be at a disadvantage not having Subject test when most other applicants will?</p>
<p>Math 1- 620
Literature- 640</p>
<p>I am having a hard time interpreting these scores. I am new to the SAT format, and I can't tell if submitting them would hurt my chance of admission. I personally feel I underperfomed on these Subject tests. </p>
<p>...depends on your act score...those aren't very good scores percentile-wise and especially for an ed applicant to duke...i would try not to send those sats, but i think they should show up on your transcript regardless</p>
<p>I looked up the national percentile for your ACT scores -- it is:</p>
<p>Composite of 30 = 97%
Reading of 35 = 99%
English of 29 = 92%
Math of 30 = 96%
Science of 27 = 92%</p>
<p>so your scores on your ACT are very good.</p>
<p>I can't seem to google the SAT II percentiles, but it would be on your score report. See what your national percentile is for your Lit and Math scores -- and if it is lower than 95% (which I think it is) I wouldn't send them.</p>
<p>Lit is a tough test -- and Math I seems to have a tough curve.</p>
<p>If Duke is ok with just the ACT -- send that.</p>
<p>^ lower than 95%? Are you kidding me? The majority of even harvard accepties score less than 95%, even 90% on their SAT IIs. Its IMPOSSIBLE to get a 95%+ on most SAT IIs. </p>
<p>80%-90% is usually good enough, and for some SAT IIs 50% or above is good enough for elite schools. (Chinese SAT II...lol, 800 is only 50th percentile)</p>
