shuttupjessmah Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 so, as you can see from my topic, I got a 660 on the SAT II Math IIC and a 680 SAT II US History. How good/bad are these scores? What's the average of them? And what are my chances of getting into UC Davis and UC Berkeley with a 3.5 UC GPA, 3.9 UC WGPA, and a 3460 UC Test Score Total? It's funny, though. I expected to get something a lot lower than a 660 on the Math IIC since I left about 1/5 of the test blank. I guess I'll see what happened in two days when the score report comes out.

babypurin Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Are you strong in Math? I recommend you study for Math IIC over, as the curve is extremely generous. I heard that you can get 9-10 wrong and still get a 800. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuttupjessmah Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 Well, I usually do well on Math tests. I think what screwed me over the most was that I studied a lot of the stuff a long time ago and didn't really review for it. I'm taking it again later. Too bad there aren't any problems with derivatives... limits... other stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomt0p Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i only got a 670 on Math IIC :crazy: Should I retake it? I want to take other subjects too because I know that UCs require at least 2 subjects, but the other good colleges such as Harvard, Stanford, etc.. require 3. And, I'm guessing I have to take the US History test again b/c my score isn't that satisfying... :doh: shutupjessmeh-i heard that you're planning to take a bunch of SAT IIs tests. Which ones are you planning to take?? just curious :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babypurin Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 mushroomt0p, do you know what you want to major in, or at least know if it will be humanities or math/science related? If it's the latter, I suggest you study harder for the Math IIC exam, as the College Board explicitly states what will be on the exam, so there is definitely room for improvement as you will know whats on the exam. (I'm not trying to say a 670 is bad) :) To be competitive at the top UC schools, I recommend 3 SATII's to fully distinguish you from the rest of the applicants.

shuttupjessmah Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 hey, I only scored a 660... and my June SAT IIs weren't that hot either... probably because I was gone and couldn't study for the week before... haha... I think in November I'm going to take the Spanish with Listening, Math IIC, and English Lit... and see how I do there... and then just give up because all the other ones require study...

ilzzuni Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 What are the good scores for the SAT2? Chem? Physics? Math? US History? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiLine Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 What are the good scores for the SAT2? Chem? Physics? Math? US History? 800 for each:D (j/k) I think 700 would be acceptable,that depends on what college(s) you are interested in:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilzzuni Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 thanks HiLine~~^^ I got 800 on math 2, 720 on Physics (i'm gonna take it again in Nov), and 770 on Chem, With the GPA 3.8 (My grades from Korea is killing my GPA~~ T.T), is there any chance that I can get into UC berkeley or UCLA? how about UVA? Do i have to get more than 2000 on SAT1 to get into good schools like UCLA, UCBerkeley and UVA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got a pretty good chance of getting into whatever school you want to get into... if your SAT I score is in the 2000+ range. Though, I think UCLA and Berkeley are looking for 2100+... which is about a 700 in each section. Of course, the higher you can get your scores, the better.

ilzzuni Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Thanks shuttupjessmah~~ but my SAT1 is extremely really hyper low so.......:doh: T.T Anyway I heard that UC schools are not just suming up the test scores but they give advantages for some special people (like people live in abysmal surroundings....). Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? No, you are at a disadvantage if you aren't from California. Like most public schools, you'll be competiting with a strong pool for a limited number of spots. You are going to need something extraordinary if you really want a spot at the top UC schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. I think the UCs have to have like a 90% California resident student population because the state gives so much money to the colleges. I guess living in California has its advantages... but northern California isn't very warm... especially San Francisco... freezing...

Antarius Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 above 2000 yes But if ugot 800 , 770..... in SAT II Then its wont be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babypurin Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 above 2000 yes But if ugot 800 , 770..... in SAT II Then its wont be a problem ...again, you will be competing against other people who have much higher stats (think SAT: 2200) and who have much higher SATII scores (and in some cases more than the required 3). Please don't say its a no problem, it will be extremely tough, especially with those stats if she wants to enter the top UC's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't say its a no problem, it will be extremely tough, especially with those stats if she wants to enter the top UC's. And that's why I'm not very confident going into the college application process. I wish my GPA, SAT scores, and SAT II scores were higher, but what can I do? I don't have the time for test prep anymore, so I'll just have to do whatever I can alone and see where it takes me. If it doesn't take me to the top UCs, then I can deal with it, as long as I get into Davis... heh... if I don't get into Davis, my mom will be PISSED!!!

Most likely, since your education isn't California-based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilzzuni Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 um..... Babypurin......... first, i have to make it clear that I'm a 'man' and....... ^^ thanks for your replies people~~^^ anyway~~ one of my got accepted into UCLA and UCBerkeley and his GPA was about 3.8 and his SAT score was low 1300s. He came from Korea about 2 years ago (to Virginia) and I wonder how he got into top UC schools. (well... he was one of my Genius friend and he was perfect in every class except English~~) I think it's my second time to ask this question but,,,, does UC schools give some extra credit to new-immigrant students????

(well... he was one of my Genius friend and he was perfect in every class except English~~) I think it's my second time to ask this question but,,,, does UC schools give some extra credit to new-immigrant students???? --- How long did your friend from Korea get into Berkeley/UCLA? A few years ago it wasn't too difficult to get into either one with a 1300 SAT (as long as the rest of the package was good!) --- I don't believe the UC's forgive new-immigrants as they are very "numbers-driven" and there is no extra bonus points from being from another country. If you have very high Toefl scores and low SAT scores, I'm sure the mid/lower UC's will forgive you. While I don't want to point a finger at someone, but it seems that CSU (California State University), a tier lower than UC, tends to have more foreign students because they typically didn't score as well on the SAT as they should have because they weren't born here.

rush2pawan Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi guys i have to take SAT 1 and SAT 2 ( 3 subjects...Physics, Chemistry and Maths level 2). Can i take all on the same day? I m from Lucknow in India. If i want to take one subject test and SAT 1 on same date is it possible. Collegeboard site says that i can't take SAT1 and subject test under same administration? Are there more than one administration on same day or do they change only on next date? my email ID is rush2pawan@yahoo.co.in ThanX Pawan Gupta rush2pawan@yahoo.co.in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
