<p>Hypothetically speaking.....</p>
<p>If you got perfect scores on the SAT reasoning test and two SAT subject tests, but a 790 on a third subject test, would you send the 790 to schools that allow score choice? (focusing on top tier schools...)</p>
<p>Let's say 2400 SAT I, 800 Math 2, 800 Chem, 790 Physics.</p>
<p>Yes, it makes you look human.</p>
<p>YESSS, omg you kids are so annoying and you have no common sense. ANYTHING over a 750 is phenomenal. You will not be rejected by Harvard for having a 750 or higher. Stop being annoying and please start thinking.</p>
<p>:/ I know that a 790 in Physics is a great score… I just don’t really see why it would be necessary to send it, if the Math and Chem scores already fulfill the testing requirements.</p>
<p>Because it looks good?</p>
<p>I think it would be up to you as to whether or not you want to send it. I have heard, but I"m not sure it’s true, that they only consider your top 2 subject test scores so sending three is not helpful or harmful.<br>
@Practical, be nice, on another thread you asked if 770 was good enough. And all morning you posted on every single sat subject thread multiple times asking for help even though multiple people, including myself gave you the same advice.</p>
<p>Hmm so would the 790 definitely not be detrimental? And could it really be beneficial?</p>
<p>I know 10 points wouldn’t be the difference between an acceptance and a rejection. Just a little surprised that the 790 might be considered beneficial when it’s a relatively (humor me a little here) lower score that blemishes an otherwise perfect record. </p>
<p>In the end, though, I know there are so many other things that are so much more important than standardized test scores… and I suppose perfection is an unrealistic goal :P</p>
<p>I’d retake physics.</p>
<p>Lol… yes, I can recognize sarcasm.</p>
<p>Well… at least I hope it’s sarcasm. If not, you really shouldn’t be advising people haha.</p>
<p>Send it. It would definitely be benificial. Great scores in a variety of areas show academic versatility. How would the admissions officers be aware of your physics expertise otherwise?</p>
<p>Send it. Send it. Send it. Are you crazy?</p>
<p>Send it. Sure, it’s not an 800, but as others have said, anything 750+ will be to your benefit. It might even seem a bit suspicious to not send it if you’ve, for example, done well in an AP Physics course or the exam but happen not to take the subject test.</p>
<p>You might not even have a choice in the matter. I believe you can only send scores by test date; therefore, if the 790 Physics was from the same test date as either the 800 Math Level 2 or the 800 Chemistry (or both), then you have to send it if you want colleges to see the other two scores.</p>
<p>So this is hypothetical and not real?</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice guys! Err, if this makes any difference, my planned major is engineering, and I haven’t taken AP Physics yet (just Physics 1H).</p>
<p>Dont send it. a 790 isnt even good enough for University of Kansas, let alone a decent school</p>
<p>They will look at that positively. The Harvard website (and I believe all other schools go by the same basic, common sense criteria) encourages you to send anything that might suggest the “breadth and depth” of your academic success. If you don’t send it, they will have no knowledge of your mastery of Physics.</p>

Lol, seriously dude? You were the one complaining multiple times about your 770 US History and asking if it was good enough. You are really not in a position to be berating the OP about anything.</p>
<p>ACTTester, I’m pretty sure that you can choose individual scores, not just scores by date.</p>
<p>And besides, Physics was taken on a different test date.</p>
<p>
Oh, I might have confused it with the old Score Choice policy. Never mind then.</p>
