Do colleges like the Math II SAT II a lot?

<p>I took the subject tests in early June and scored 770 in Chem, 790 in USH, and… 660 in Math II. It was a super fail, considering I scored around 790 on practice tests, but c’est la vie. I know most colleges require/recommend two, with a few loners and top-tier recommending three (except for like Stanford and Princeton none of those are even on my apply list). One of my friends told me that sending in the Math II SAT is de jure for college admittance; it is preferred over any other test to include (except for the SAT I). I don’t know if it’s such a wise idea to retake the SAT II just for Math II.
Also, why if 12% of takers score 800 is the Math II that important?</p>

<p>Math II is definitely important if you’re a math/engineering major. Any other major…not really THAT important. It’s definitely not the deciding factor. And the fact that 12% of the takers score 800 just makes getting an 800 on the Math II important. It doesn’t make the test important.</p>
