<p>If you're one of those people who have a 32 but want a 34, this is meant for you.</p>
<p>32=33=34=99th percentile.</p>
<p>99th percentile=top 1% of all test takers</p>
<p>Being in the top 1% of all test takers=something to be proud of
=good enough for the top colleges</p>
<p>Test scores aren't everything. A 32 is more than enough to get you in the ballpark. It's the rest of your app that will make or break you.</p>
<p>Basically, a 32 IS good enough. G'day.</p>

<p>I think getting 4 36's would be much better than four 32's.</p>

<p>The point of this thread is.....?</p>
<p>Darn, only a 31! I guess I'm like a 98th percentile or something....lemme go cry in my corner now....</p>
<p>The point is for all those people whining about whether a 32 is 'good enough' to have a look</p>
<p>So a 33 makes me competitive for every school in the country? (including HYPS?)</p>
<p>@Madboy121
Its in the ballpark; rest depends on rest of application.</p>
<p>Exactly. It puts you right in there, and it's the rest of the app that gets you in.</p>
<p>Score. That's good to know.</p>
<p>Well i got a 32.....</p>
<p>I am still retaking it because one of my subjects is very low.</p>
<p>Besides 34 sounds way better than 32 :]</p>
<p>I retook and got a 34 but I feel like it was justified even though it makes no difference percentile-wise. I got a 32 without studying (because I had track championships) so I felt like I cheated myself out of a fair chance.</p>
<p>If you wanna do it for personal satisfaction, I get it. But I just wanted to say that a 32 WILL make do.</p>
