610 in French Listening (Ouch), send or no?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So I took 3 SAT II's: Math II, U.S. History and French Listening. The only school that will be getting the SAT Subjects from me is the University of Virginia.</p>

<p>I got a 710 in Math II (not ecstatic about that), 740 in U.S. History and, of course, the 610 in French.</p>

<p>So here's the deal. I took AP French as a Junior and got a 4 on the exam. Thing is, I haven't learned or even refreshed my memory in French since then, and I took the Subject Tests at the October test session.</p>

<p>Although the 710 in Math II doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies, I'm sending it anyway, along with the 740 in U.S. History. But, I've been wondering if it would be a good idea to send French along just to underline the fact that I can, in fact, do French.</p>

<p>So, bottom line, is a 610 really all that bad? Even if it's in a language that I'm rusty (at best) in? Will it hurt my chances, help them or not matter at all? And if they'd help, would it be worth sending them along?</p>

<p>What’s the percentile? I’m leaning towards no.</p>

<p>I think it was something like the 33rd percentile. That’s really what put me off to sending the scores, considering that I’m pretty far from the mean.</p>

<p>But then again, there are a LOT of fluent speakers that take this test and breeze through it, and leave me–who really just picked this language up in middle school–in the dust as far as percentiles are concerned. I learned that after I saw a bunch of people in my testing room strike up a conversation in perfect French during break.</p>

<p>Oooh 33rd percentile is pretty rough…Honestly, your other scores are great, and UVA only requires two. I would just forget the French ever happened ;).</p>
