<p>Hey there :)</p>
<p>Here are my scores the first time I took the subject tests:</p>
<p>maths lvl 2: 760
physics: 780</p>
<p>I'm thinking about retaking the tests, since there is a high chance to score higher. Should I retake the test? Will it make any difference?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>ps: I'm aiming for tom universities like MIT and Stanford</p>
<p>Although scores are extremely important, especially at a school such as MIT, by the time you break the 750’s, I believe it is more dependent on your other activities: courseload, GPA, ECs, etc. After all, while an 800 places you above a 750, this is not nearly as significant an advantage as graduating valedictorian, being an All-State musician, captain of an athletic team, etc.</p>
<p>You may find better luck on the college admissions thread. Or, you may want to see these threads: </p>

<p>thank you very much for your information :))</p>
<p>if you’re absolutely positive you can score higher, than go for it. but with those already very high scores, it might be hard to do, like if you have an off day…</p>
<p>it’s not like i’m 100% sure I’ll score higher, cause you never know, it might just be a bad day. However, if nothing weird goes on, I should score higher, at least in Maths :)</p>
<p>Go for the 800 in Math Level 2 only if minimal studying is needed.</p>
<p>well, I can’t say minimal study will be enough, but still, I think I’ll go for the 800 after finishing with sat1 :)</p>
