<p>SO I’m just wondering how important the difference between 790 and 800 is for the Math II subject test. </p>
<p>All other aspects of my application are probably matching the average Yale student, except my subpar math ii subject (790).</p>
<p>My interest (intended major) in uni is history/ english, if that makes a difference</p>
<p>There is absolutely no difference at all because test scores are only one part of your application – and they are not the most important part. Listen to Jeffrey Brenzel talk about test scores on the College Board website: <a href=“https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-started/video-transcription/whats-the-most-important-part-of-the-application[/url]”>https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-started/video-transcription/whats-the-most-important-part-of-the-application</a></p>

<p>Although the article is talking about the SAT, it applies equally to SAT II’s as well.</p>
<p>Phew, that’s reassuring xD Thank you!</p>
<p>No difference at all, especially since you aren’t applying as a STEM major.</p>
