I took the subject test for US History right after I took the AP test in May (It seemed like a good time to take it). I ended up getting a 4 on the AP exam and a 640 on the subject test. I’m not applying to any colleges that require subject test, but I’m still applying to some fairly selective colleges (Boston univ, chapel hill, northeastern). is my subject test even worth sending… Will it not matter or hurt my application?
Thanks in advance
Not worth sending imo. Probably a waste of money to send a subpar score.
A 640 will probably hurt you more than help you. If you send in any SATIIs, the general rule is 750+ for HYPSM/Ivies, 700+ minimum.
some schools let you skip classes if you meet the sat subject test requirement. But most likely, it will hurt you. Your 4 is enough.
Don’t send a 640 to any schools that do not require them. Your AP score of 4 is great; your SAT II of 640 is not nearly as great.
