<p>That’s an interesting question ilyssa, but you kind of contradict yourself when you say that you got those scores when you were not even in class. That means that you were probably very good at prepping or doing well in those subject areas without a classroom. You would have actually probably done well on SAT IIs also. If anything, your question raises questions about the relevance of SAT Reasoning scores. This is exactly why most top schools want SATIIs I suppose. Apparently reasoning test scores don’t correlate as well with performance at the college level as many would like to think, especially amongst high performance students. I think back to my freshman year at Emory, and remember all of the people/friends with better math SAT scores (overall scores too, even though mines were solid) and perhaps better math backgrounds and similar science backgrounds, and many really struggled in the pre-med weeder courses much more than I did (those actually went well except 1st semester where I got a B- in bio and a B in orgo. 
, but many of my friends got C and D range grades in the respective courses, and in some cases the gen. chem, gen. bio combo). It, however, normally works in reverse though, especially at private colleges. The GPAs are higher than what would be predicted by SAT scores, and the discrepancies in student performance vs. discrepancy in SAT is somewhat negligible for various reasons including inflation/deflation. Point is, that test (SAT reasoning) does not represent the school well at all. Perhaps the predominance of passing AP/IB scores/subject test scores vs. gpa is revealing. </p>
<p>Oh, and good job on the physics exams Ilyssa. Those scores will really help you avoid physics there, which is terrible from my understanding. As for chem., just use the AP credit, it looks like a useless class lol.</p>
