<p>I've taken four Subject Tests now. My scores are:
World History: 740
Hebrew: 800
Physics: 710
Math IIC: 800</p>
<p>I didn't think I did too well on Physics, but I imagined in my head at least a 750+. How bad exactly is a 710? Is there some sort of way I could just not report it on my application, since I already have two other tests? Or am I obligated to report it since I took it? And in that case, should I retake it? (Note: The problem with Physics is that, unlike Math, it requires pretty heavy reviewing... Also, I may just not be that good at Physics because although I got A's in AP Physics B all year, I think I truly bombed the AP Exam and a 4 or even a 3 would be a Godsend).</p>
<p>I got 760 in physics. So far, I've seen only one person on this site at this hour who got a score higher than me. but I'm pretty much asking the same question as you. So, someone else below us can answer both of us.</p>
<p>and i think i also bombed the AP physics B test too.>.<.
<em>sighs</em></p>
<p>So guys, I"m a high school junior. Should i bother retaking physics to score higher? I"m planning to apply to schools like MIT, caltech, Stanford, Harvard, etc.</p>
<p>I should note: I am NOT planning to apply to schools like MIT, CalTech, etc.</p>
<p>I'm looking into more Liberal Arts colleges... My ultimate goal at the moment is law school.</p>
<p>I am taking AP Physics C next year, but I doubt that whatever we do in the first two or three months will be enough for me to improve my score if I were to retake this test.</p>
<p>Do colleges which require two SAT IIs just take your two highest SAT II scores? And colleges which require three take your highest three? Because in that case I can just ignore Physics...</p>
<p>Don't worry about the world history one.. 750+ is best, but 740 is really really REALLY fine. </p>
<p>Physics: If you apply as a science major, then possibly retake that... but if you know you're naturally bad at it, and don't have the time, then it's okay.</p>
<p>I don't know if I'd say I'm naturally bad at it. As I said, in my AP Physics B course I got A's (A+'s, too) all year, and at my school that class is no joke (though the curve is generous).</p>
<p>However, I did mess up pretty badly on the AP test (don't know my score yet, but I wouldn't expect a 5, and I'd be very surprised with a 4). I just think that if I retook this SAT II Physics test, I won't do better because by the next available test date Physics won't be so fresh in my mind.</p>
<p>And I don't think I'll be a science major. I can't be sure, but I'm leaning towards mathematics or the social sciences, or perhaps a mix of both.</p>
