<p>I just found out that most of the colleges I'm applying to like Yale, Cornell, Columbia, UPenn, etc don't allow the Score Choice option for subject tests. I had assumed before that it would be fine to send in just the 800 us hist and 780 mathII scores that I had gotten, but apparently this is not the case. On a different test date I had scored a 600 (?!?) on the lit subj test and I'm worried that this will look bad to the colleges I'm applying to. How much of a difference do you think it will make for them to see such a low score, and is there any way to avoid sending it?</p>
<p>Maybe you should try retaking the lit SAT… just to be safe.</p>
<p>@Arkive I hear that there is no way that colleges can find out if you use score choice, so I’m tempted to just not send it</p>
<p>@Aqua Hell no dude. Watch me bomb it a second time, and that would only make things look worse. It’s sound advice, but not for someone that knows they would fail it</p>
<p>I thought they do get a report on whether a student used it?</p>
<p>I’m curious about this too… I got two subject test scores I’m not proud of either…</p>
<p>Are you intending to major in lit? Because if not, I don’t know if they’ll really care much. I always thought SAT2 scores were to determine your aptitude for a subject, not college in general, so if you’re not a lit genius, nbd. </p>
<p>I could be wrong though, and if you can get around it, I would.</p>
<p>@Lesley They won’t get any report of whether or not you used it, but I’m not completely sure if there might be other ways for them to find out</p>
<p>@ecouter I don’t think it really matters to them what your intended major is. A bad score is a bad score, and I hope I can somehow get around it</p>
<p>Is there anyone here that disregarded a college’s score choice policies? It would be reassuring if I could get some info from someone that actually did it, since I’m sorely tempted to ‘break the rule’</p>
