<p>Many people have been saying since there’s a huge curve on the SAT 2 Math 2 test, anything below an 800 is poor. I’ve been getting like 750 on Kaplan practice tests.</p>
<p>What’s an acceptable SAT 2 score that I can send to colleges?</p>
<p>I want to be a biology major and I’m applying to Johns Hopkins, Cornell U, Reed, Wellesley, UCLA, Rochester U, U of Michigan, and Northwestern.</p>
<p>I’m expecting a 750 wouldn’t cut it at schools like JHU or Cornell and maybe also UCLA, Michigan and Northwestern?</p>
<p>Anything other than 800 is garbage. </p>
<p>Seriously though, 750+ for top schools/ivies is basically assumed. I’m taking Math II today, and I have no idea what math even means. Guess I’ll be retaking it along with Bio (another subject I have no clue about) in January.</p>
<p>Yea, I thought so. W/e I already took 2 SAT IIs besides math.</p>
<p>kaplan math level 2 is pretty easy actually. barron is much better</p>
<p>Actually, Barron is much too difficult and doesn’t reflect the real content of the test.</p>
<p>Useful for making you depressed, though.</p>

haha. i used barron and got 800. well, it depends. i love all kinds of barron test preps. they are sooo hard to i wont panic during the real test.</p>
<p>Kaplan seems ridiculously easy. I got through the book in like two days. I was skipping all the questions with permutations because I hate those and there were a lot on practice tests. LOL I got the Barrons too, but not enough time to go through it.</p>

Yes, that is funny and true. I really got depressed when I got a raw score in the low 30’s on a Barrons test. I felt better when I tried a Sparknotes test and got an 800. :)</p>
<p>Most college adcoms have no clue about specific curves. They’ll look at your Math 2 score in the same light as your other SAT 2 scores. A 790 on Math 2 will be considered a better performance than a 770 on Literature.</p>
<p>I used Barron’s and got an 800 after studying for like 20 hours. I probably would have got like a 650 without it.</p>
