<p>unclehan, a 780 on the SAT in math really isn’t any different from an 800. The College Board knows there’s an error of at least +/- 30 points, and I’d say it’s more like +/- 80 points. 780 means (depending on the test) either 1 or 2 questions incorrectly answered. Okay, so the guy ****ed up once. Big deal.</p>
<p>The SAT IIs are slightly more troublesome. On one hand, the Physics SAT II is notoriously poorly designed. A Physics C student would have no chance on it. On the other hand, you ought to be able to do better than a 710 in Chem and a 6 on the IB. The curve on the SAT II Chem is steep compared to some subjects (e.g. Math IIC), but not that hard.</p>
