<p>My SAT scores aren't that great, but I am looking hard at USC, Santa Clara, and UC Davis. Stanford and UC Berkeley are just "apply for the hell of it". </p>
<p>I got an 1820 in June. 600 CR 600 W w/9 essay and 620 Math. </p>
<p>I took it again this October. I don't think I got 2000. Maybe a 1950 if I'm lucky. </p>
<p>My grades are 3.8 unweighted and 4.1 weighted. </p>
<p>I got a 5 on the APUSH exam last May. I am pretty confident I can score an 800; at the VERY worst a 750 or so. And would an 800 on the SAT Subject Test in US History help boost my chances to the USC, Santa Clara, and UC Davis???</p>
<p>Sure it would help. Be sure to take some other subject tests too. A word of warning though, I just took the SAT US history test yesterday and it was hard as f***. I got a 5 on the APUSH exam too, but I can say without a doubt the SAT USH test is much harder. Make you study enough because I sure as hell didn’t.</p>
<p>I got both a 5 on the APUSH exam and 800 on the SAT II for U.S. History. It will help your chances, but I can’t say it will improve them a lot. It’s better to get a 2300-2400 on your SAT I than 800’s on your SAT II’s.</p>
