So I know I might be sounding petty, but I took the June Math Sat Subject Test and got a 780 on the Math II SAT Subject Test. I was expecting an 800 so I was a bit surprised and I don’t know if I should retake it to get an 800. Many of the top colleges, especially engineering colleges (Top ones such as Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, UMich) seem to have a lot of students that get 800s on Math II so I was wondering if a 780 is viewed unfavorably compared to an 800 (It is apparently 73rd percentile or something). Don’t get me wrong- I think that it is a good score but I don’t know if colleges will see it the same way. Is it worth it to retake?
