I got a 770 for Math Lvl 2 and 760 for physics. How good are these?

Posted by Werg22:I was hoping to do a lot better, really. There goes MIT, Princeton etc.
I remember noticing that a while ago, but I think you mean about 20- and not 80+, i.e. 80% of those taking the test scored 800.leon1127 said:If I can recall it correctly, the percentile for prefect score on Chinese SATII was 80+... The lowest of all tests, lol
I know at state college high school, A professor was talking about if you have a 4.0 your not at the top of your class, you need at 5.0, and even at that your still not at the top of your class.
Because others have 5.0's from taking AP courses starting in 7th grade and got A's in all of them all the way up to their Senior year. Its crazy, my high school didn't even offer AP courses.
everyone has a 4.0 (leading to the institution of "weighted" GPA)
Now at the local community college I attend, if a student receives a C it is not seen as average, but as poor, wheras the B is seen as average. In other words, everyone has A's, B's, maybe one C instead of a few A's, lots of B's and C's and hopefully no D's/F's. Just takes away the variability in grading and makes the GPA a less powerful indicator of a student's performance.

Good scores for the SAT subject tests vary depending on the specific test and the college or university you are applying to. Generally, scores above 700 are considered good. However, it is important to research the average scores for the schools you are interested in to get a better understanding of what is considered a good score.
Yes, there can be a difference in what is considered a good score for different subjects on the SAT. Some subjects, such as math and science, may have higher average scores compared to subjects like literature or foreign languages. It is important to research the average scores for the specific subject you are taking.
This can vary depending on the college or university. Some schools may place more emphasis on SAT subject test scores, while others may focus more on overall SAT scores. It is important to research the specific schools you are interested in to understand their evaluation process.
In most cases, no. While a high SAT subject test score can demonstrate strong knowledge and skills in a specific subject, it is not likely to make up for a low overall SAT score. Colleges and universities typically consider overall SAT scores as a more comprehensive measure of a student's academic abilities.
If your SAT subject test scores are not as good as you had hoped, do not panic. While they can be an important factor in the college admissions process, they are not the only factor. Focus on improving your overall academic performance and strengthening your application in other areas, such as extracurricular activities and essays.
