<p>and i got an 1160 on the two part.</p>

<p>This is an unanswerable question without more context. For some people, 2390 would be a disappointing score; for others, even 1730 would be a great achievement. What schools are you shooting for?</p>

<p>university of delaware
quinnipiac
university of rhode island
Richard Stockton College of NJ
Rowan
university of vermont
West Virginia University</p>

<p>I am not familiar with those schools’ typical test scores. Check on their Web sites to see the 25th-75th percentile ranges for the SAT to get a good idea of where you should be.</p>

<p>You can also use the “where do I stack up” function on collegeboard. Plug in your scores, “save”, and compare. Here is the one for quinnipiac</p>

<p>And West Virginia</p>

<p>it’s a decent score. Not the best in the world, but it seems good for those schools. :-)</p>

<p>My goal was to reach 1800, but I fell short and got 1730. </p>

<p>CR= 540
Math=580
Writing=610</p>

<p>I know is more than average… but it hurts a little.</p>

<p>I’m an international student, and I’ll be applying to 12 schools. Most of them are my safeties, a few reaches (SAT optional like Bowdoin)and two BIG reaches (UPENN & Harvard).</p>

<p>TOEFL ibt= 103 (I could have done better but I got nervous)</p>

<p>I’ll be taking two subject tests in January…</p>

<p>Can you guys help me choose which SAT subject test to take?. </p>

<p>Wo</p>

<p>@collegekidd1992, 1730’s not a bad score (national average is roughly 1500, standard deviation 300), but it really depends on where you’re applying and what the mean SAT scores are there.</p>

<p>@joelof12, generally, if you take subject tests, take the ones that are required. If none are required, take the ones you’re best at (most people take at most 2 or 3). One caveat: It’s probably not a good idea to take both Math I and Math II.</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick response. I’m still undecided but… what do you think is better for me under my circumstances</p>

<ol>
<li>I never had US history classes at school but I’m good at memorizing historical facts and events</li>
<li>I had biology but I lack of lab experience</li>
<li>I’m good at math but not that much.</li>
</ol>

<p>Which would be better in my case?</p>

<p>-US History Subject Test
-Math level I
-Biology E or M</p>

<p>In the future you may want to start a new thread rather than piggybacking off an existing (and 2 year old) thread.</p>

<p>Only you can answer the question regarding which subject tests to take.</p>
