Bad SAT Subject Test Literature Score

Hi, So i got a pretty bad Literature Subject Test score (580) but my stats otherwise are quite good. I have a 36 ACT, 1580 SAT, 800 US History Subject test, and a 800 Math subject test score. Im a bit worried about my low score, do I have any reason to be? I think it was just a fluke and I just messed up on the test a bit (quite a bit actually). Should i retake? Should i even be worried that much?

Are you applying to schools that require more than two subject tests? If not, poor score on third test may be moot and you can not report it (check to school reporting requirements,). Two 800s is a pretty good showing.

@oldschooldad a couple of the colleges i’m applying to require me to send all scores.

If you send in your SAT score, they will see all of your subject test scores in your score report, but with those scores, I wouldn’t be too worried about it.

wait what? @Alumon If we send SAT 1 score, they will see all the attempts for SAT2?

Yes; even though you have ‘score choice’, the colleges get the score report from Collegeboard, which has all scores from SAT 1 and SAT 2 attempts. (It’s the 2nd page on any SAT Score Report - that’s what they send.)
