<p>I thought I aced it, So i probably made a lot of stupid mistakes. Is it worth it to bump that up to an 800 and do standby registration for the december SAT II's? I am fairly certain with a little studying I could, because i went into the nov one no studying
Im applying to vanderbilt, duke, and rice engineering....</p>
<p>Nope, not at all. A 770 is absolutely fine.</p>
<p>Will colleges recognize that I missed the # of the curve + 3 more, which seems like I missed alot, or will they say 770/800 aint bad?</p>
<p>i also got a 770. and im not retaking...i self studied this subject, because i had forgotten all the trig from 2 years ago and i never learned precalc...770 is good though.</p>
<p>meh, I think Im just gonna retake it. its only an extra hour, and I know im not gonna much lower if at all</p>
<p>if you do, you should be rejected for not having a life.</p>
<p>If you think a 770 is something that is going to reject you, you need a reality check.</p>
<p>seriously???</p>
<p>kill yourself.</p>
<p>No, a lot of people believe that since the Math II curve is so generous, there's no reason not to get an 800 (I'd believe the percentile is messed up).</p>
<p>Depends on where you want to go to school. If you are applying to CalTech, Harvey Mudd or MIT or seeking a scholarship in a math based discipline, then you should retake the Math II SAT II exam.</p>
<p>Yea, since sat II curves are so generous, I feel like a 770 is much worse than it would be if I got that on the reasoning test. plus its only an extra hour and im already taking satII physics December.
To those that think I need to kill myself: I know a 770 wont hurt my app, but why not go for an 800 and help my app...</p>
<p>One of my kids got a 770 Math Level II and we took him out for a nice dinner. Have a life!</p>
<p>An average score of SAT II math would be <700 so don't worry. CC just has really high scorers.</p>
<p>I love how at my school this girl w/ a 2230 (720 M) got a 620 Math 2. It's a hard test for the general test taker -- it's only math whizzes who typically score well on math2. The curve is there because the test is insanely difficult.</p>
<p>...your 770 is great.</p>
<p>i agree with the majority of people here. 770 isn't bad. Maybe spending that time doing something else?</p>
<p>Dont look at your raw score, look at your percentile. If your percentile is below 90%, then retake. Otherwise, just sit back. And dont tell him he doesnt have a life. At least he wants to go to a good college.</p>
<p>if the OP goes up by 10-20 points, will colleges frown upon the fact that he retook it?</p>

<p>Please post a published source, any source that any college looks at percentile over scaled score.</p>
<p>dang it. I was planning on retaking a 760 since it was such a low percentile. And because I took it as a sophomore?</p>
<p>Whether or not they look at the percentile, colleges still GET the percentiles. That is a judge of how well you did in comparison to others. If they get 5 students with 800s and only 4 spots left, they would obviously take a look at the percentile.</p>
