<p>whats a good sat subject test score for schools that are the calibur of the ivies, georgetown, vanderbilt, service academies, berkely etc.</p>
<p>I usually hear 750+.</p>
<p>Depends on which test. For example 750 in mathIIC is not really that impressive yet that same score on literature is great. The point is that there is no set score, but usually what I do is anything above the 90th percentile on the test(only in regard to SAT IIs, not Is) is good for those schools.</p>
<p>And so by using this method:</p>
<p>Literature - 730
US history - 740
World history - 750
Math IC - 720 (a lot of those kinda school don't accept these)
Math IIC - 800 <-Lmao, scary
Bio E - 720
Bio M - 750
Chem - 770
Physics - 790 (my god!)</p>
<p>and I wouldn't apply to language scores... that based on how long you learned it and whether or not you are a native.</p>
<p>i took bio us hist and math 2c and am hoping for 750+s on all three.. that should be aite right</p>
<p>780 is the minimum
790 is not bad.
800 is preferred.</p>
<p>Lol ^^^, I question whether an 800 is good in CC standards.</p>
<p>^ haha</p>
<p>And Tiberian, what would be a good score for a language test for a NON-native speaker? I'll be taking French next year... do non-native speakers ever get 800s conceivably?</p>
<p>Of course a non-native can get 800s, but it is VERY hard. I would be throughly impressed if non-native got 700s, so about 70 percentile or above for non-natives (Just try not to take any of the asian languages, the percentile curves for those are just horrible).</p>
<p>70th %tile +</p>
<p>Chinese - 800
French - 710 (you're in luck! the best percentage curves or all of them)
German - 740
Japanese - 790
Korean - 800
Spanish - 730</p>
<p>tiberian, what's the curve for the Latin test?</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks. I'd definitely like to think I was in the top 30% of test takers...</p>
<p><em>runs off to study PR book</em></p>
<p>Now that math is over, I can dedicate myself fully to studying for French! (And finals next week, and the chem SAT II, and the SAT I of course)</p>
<p>And keep in mind that you might even be in the top 10% of non-native testtakers^^^</p>
<p>Post #9 pertains to the languages w/ listening</p>
<p>So reading:</p>
<p>70th + percentile</p>
<p>French - 710
German - 730
Hebrew - 720
Italian - 750
Latin - 690
Spanish - 740</p>
<p>Bio E - 720
Bio M - 750
Chem - 770</p>
<p>so does that mean Chem is easiest and Bio E is hardest?</p>
<p>because Chem is definitely not easy.</p>
<p>"Now that math is over, I can dedicate myself fully to studying for French! (And finals next week, and the chem SAT II, and the SAT I of course)"</p>
<p>when are you going to take french, thecomisar?</p>
<p>The percentiles do not indicate whether it's hard or not. However, they do indicate the capability the average student taking the test. Therefore, for example, the average person taking physics is "smarter" than the average person taking chem. (again, this does not apply to language due to native speakers and etc)</p>
<p>so for Bio E, if 90th percentile is a 720...isn't it relatively hard to get a "good" score, because 720 (which is not that high compared to the other tests) is already at a pretty high percentile?</p>
<p>I'm soo confused.</p>
<p>i bet everyone at hikaru's school hates him lol</p>
<p>"when are you going to take french, thecomisar?"</p>
<p>Not until next year. I'm just a sophomore now, so if I take French at the end of junior year, I will have finished French through AP.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I understand what you're saying. Are you saying that it is hard to get a good score or that Bio E is hard in relation to others?</p>
<p>If the former, yes it is hard to get a good score (in this sense, good for IVY)
If the latter, Bio E is definitely not as hard (curve-wise) compared to the other science tests.</p>
<p>It's okay. I'm not quite sure what I'm saying either.</p>
<p>lol</p>
