so i'm korean and i was born in korea and i came to the states when i was about 5 (now 16)
recently i took the korean subject test and i got a 750 out of 800

i have no idea if that's a good score since i was born there
does anyone know if that's good, average, bad???

[qkrcjdfla]

well it really depends on how much you speak, not if you were born there or not.
but I heard that colleges aren't too impressed if you receive a perfect score on the subject tests for your native tongue. I could be wrong though ^ ^

i found a chart of sat 2 subject test percentiles on collegeboard for 2007 [i think]
and, according to it, scoring a 750 means falling into the 84th percentile [ scored higher than 84% of the people who took it]

i'd say that's pretty good

i can give you the whole link if you want

Don't be complaining, I got a 680.


...And that's with 2 Korean SAT summer boot camps.

I've heard that basically all the SAT II's do if it's in a language that is a language you're comfortable with solidifies the fact that you really are as fluent as you claim....

So 750 should be good ^.^

avg score for korean sat is like 750
so yeah, it's kind of different.

hey! i took them too.
well...i think since you came here when you were little, your score has more weight then if you came here last year and took the exam, ya know? 750s not bad-good job! ^__^

my dad cuz he's asian he's like subject tests are pointless if you dont' get an 800, but i don't know i guess it depends on how comfortable you are with the subject and then you can be satisfied only when you alone are comfortable. For some subjects I wouldn't like a score under a perfect, but some I would accept a score around a 700.

I was born here, and I scored a 790. I was horrible at reading and writing Korean until I forced myself to learn at age 13. I still don't understand how I got a 790. Totally expected a 800. Ugh.
