<p>I didnt study at all, was completely off on pacing as a result, and f'ed up on math lvl 2.</p>
<ol>
<li> Are subject tests used for placement or admission?</li>
<li> If I took two subject tests yesterday, can i only send one when i get the results back?</li>
<li> Do colleges look at score or percentile?</li>
<li> Will a lower math sat lvl 2 take the edge off of a great sat math 1?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<ol>
<li>Both</li>
<li>Yes</li>
<li>Score is percentile because it’s on a curve</li>
<li>Not if you don’t send it</li>
</ol>
<p>This may be a really dumb question, but I do feel the need to ask: If a college wants two SAT II scores, can I still send more?</p>
<p>@samjam1392: Yes you can, though some schools will still only look at your highest two scores.</p>
<p>wait, when noob says scores ARE percentiles, let me put it this way: a 740 is like high 70’s - low 80’s percentile. soooooo… is a 740 bad to admissions officers or good?</p>
<p>Rishmeister, your percentile is not 740/1000, but the percent of students you scored better than. Your score is out of 800 and that score corresponds to a percentile.</p>
<p>Thank you Fringe.</p>
<p>The schools I am applying to all basically need two subject test scores, none needs three. My top three are as follows: </p>
<p>Math II: 800
Bio(M): 740
Lit: 650</p>
<p>I am sending bio and math but was wondering would it do me any good to send lit also. I took the sat this math and sure my cr was >700.</p>
<p>The scores, though graded on curves, aren’t absolute representations of percentile. For example, an 800 in Math II puts you at the 89th percentile, though a 750 in US History will also put you in the 89th percentile for that test. You can see your percentile by going to the score report of your subject test.</p>
<p>A 740, typically speaking, is good. But that can still be relative. For example, if you are applying as an engineering major at a highly competitive school, a 740 in Math II might put you below the more competitive applicants. Then again, test scores really are only one aspect of your application.</p>
<p>two more questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If I’m not using Score choice, will colleges still be able to see scores I don’t want to send (Subject test scores, that is)?</p></li>
<li><p>There’s a tool that says “Send scores to colleges” on CB.com. There’s also a box that says “you have __ days to update or manage ur score recipients”. does this mean that even if i don’t click the “send scores to colleges” tool, the subject test i dont want will be sent anyway?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>thanks again.</p>
<p>wait so if i take 2 subject tests in june, can i send both scores when i apply for UC’s next fall or only one?</p>
<p>2200 or bust, and whoever else can’t contribute, please get out. the questions i asked r biting at me and i need answers. either help me out wen u post ur own questions or leave. thanks.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you don’t use score choice, colleges will be able to see all of your scores, which includes subject and reasoning tests.</p></li>
<li><p>Unless you specifically indicate colleges you want to send your scores to, they will not go out.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>understood. how can i order score choice? what is the cost?</p>
<p>“Score choice” costs the same as sending your scores to a college: $9.50. The only difference is that you check off the scores you want sent instead of sending everything.</p>
<p>Fringe, u r incredibly helpful. shud i purchase it like right before my scores come out on the 22nd?</p>
<p>wait? if you take two subject tests on one day, dont you have to send both?? i thought you couldnt pick and choose because they are one the same sheet??</p>
<p>^ You can’t pick and choose if you are canceling or requesting hand-scoring, but you can certainly select which ones you would like to send.</p>
<p>I believe that you can order scores to four schools for free within a certain time period after you take the SAT. So if you want to save yourself some money, order them now, don’t wait until right before they come out.</p>
<p>^ Yes, I think within a 7-day period after the SAT date you can add up to 4 free score reports for free, sent the same time you get your results. That way it’s cheaper, and quicker for the colleges to get official scores</p>
<p>No, guys, I already used up my 4 free score reports. I’m askign should I order score choice right now or wait till like a day after tha scores come out? Or will colleges have already jumped to my profile by then and have seen the scores I don’t want them to see? Basically tell me the best way to HIDE these scores. thank you.</p>
