<p>I took Math 2C with 1 week of prep
but I hardley studied but still managed to get a 740…</p>
<p>(1 hour is NOT enough!!! I did not know that)</p>
<p>but at the time i thought 740 was decent
but I think if i retake it I’ll be able to get a 800. </p>
<p>but does it make a difference?
740 vs 800…</p>
<p>should I do it?</p>
<p>I still have to take SAT Physics and SAT Chem.</p>
<p>so…</p>
<li>retake Math 2C</li>
<li>just concentrate on other two SAT subjects :)</li>
</ol>
<p>Please help!</p>
<p>If you're taking additional subjects anyway (i.e. you'll be at the test centre anyway) and you don't think you'll need a lot of additional prep to get an 800, might as well. Otherwise, 740 is still not a bad score.</p>
<p>While a 740 is good, I do think an 800 is within your reach. If it were me, if I were in your shoes, I'd retake for an 800. Prep right this time! :)</p>
<p>a 740 is good for any school. Don't retake.</p>
<p>ugh .... -_T
I guess right now its about...</p>
<p>Retake 2
Don't 1</p>
<p>I do think 740 is a very good score
but its just.....
800!!! T_T the 800....</p>
<p>Does it even make a difference? 740 or 800?</p>
<p>For most subjects I would say 740 is a superb score no doubt, but for some like math with such a generous curve, it's not as fly (don't get me wrong though, it is still a great score)</p>
<p>I heard (indirectly) from my college counselor that colleges call her up when they see that people retake any subject tests over 700.
Personally, I feel that you shouldn't bother retaking it unless MIT or Caltech is your first choice.</p>
<p>I have to agree with the 'one hour isn't enough' thing. I only got about 3/4 of the questions done.... :( but math isn't my strong point anyways. </p>
<p>I think that 740 is a very competitive score, so unless you're trying to shore up not so great other scores, or you're applying to a school like McGill which automatically assigns scholarships and college credit to very high scores, I would take as many tests as possible to, I dunno, demonstrate well-rounded-ness or something rather than re-taking an already very good score. </p>
<p>I'm just hoping to break 600 on the math 2...</p>
<p>740 on every other exam BUT Math II (and Chinese and Korean...) is competitive.</p>
<p>The discrepancy between 740 and 800 is somewhat big, a raw score of 37/50 v. 43/50. </p>
<p>You should only retake it if you are confident that you'll score 800. Or, you could retake it as many times as you'd like, since it's only a one hour examination.</p>
<p>if you are confident you can get an 800, retake it.</p>
<p>my belief is that if you break 750, you don't need to retake it. It's kind of like a watermark (which changes for each college); if you're over it, you're set to go. above 750 should cover you for most colleges, if not all. </p>
<p>I got a 770 in US history and 790 on chem, but I'm not retaking because I think the score is fine, despite my belief that I could do better. </p>
<p>I'm sure with more prep the test will feel a lot easier to you =)</p>
<p>you should retake it.
Math IIC is supposed to be pretty easy, and most people I know are 750+. So to make yourself more competitive, it doesn't hurt to retake.</p>
