Should I bother explaining my Physics SAT score?

Applying to College
1

<p>It was 700 first time, 710 second time (which still isn’t that great).</p>

<p>I had to self-study almost all of the material because I only took AP Physics C: Mechanics. On my transcript it only lists the class as “AP Physics” though, so adcoms wouldn’t be able to extrapolate that from it.</p>

<p>I was thinking of writing, “I would like to note that for SAT Physics, my class curriculum did not cover most of the material” under additional info.</p>

<p>But then again 710 is still 700+.</p>

<p>Should I bother? Will it look somewhat bad if I do?</p>

<p>btw, for ivies/pseudo/almost-ivies</p>

<p>Self-study is common nowadays, and is certainly no excuse. Unless your intended college demands physics, just score-choice.</p>

<p>It would be silly to do so. A 710 is a good score. “Explaining” why it wasn’t as good as you’d like would simply draw attention to the score and say more about you than the score.</p>

<p>Your score is 700+. leave it as it is.</p>
