Should I retake the SAT Subject Tests?

I don’t think there’s any point in retaking Math2 to aim for a 780. A 740 is 62nd percentile, 780 is 76th percentile, and 800 is 83rd percentile. This means a lot of people get 800. If you’re doing great on the practice tests then you may wanna retake, but I don’t think it’ll make any difference in your application. A strong SAT Math score + good grades in your math classes will be way more indicative. Even if you get an 800, no adcom is going to think you’re way better at math now because you studied for a few months, and a 740 is a solid score.
