<p>For the May SAT Subject Tests, i did 3 tests in one day because i knew that each test was only $9 more. I figured that i'd try Spanish, and if i did badly, i'd simply cancel my Spanish score. I learned later that you have to cancel all scores, you can't cancel just one test.</p>
<p>I ended up not canceling my scores because i thought that i'm a pretty good guesser, and thought that i could just not show it to colleges (not sure how that works).</p>
<p>I ended up getting:
700 US
640 Lit
450 Spanish (GAH!)</p>
<p>Will colleges look at my spanish score if i don't explicitly show it on my application? Is there any way to make it not show up to colleges? Will colleges all see it?</p>
<p>Finally, how much do you think they'll care, seeing as it's a definite outlier (in my grades, transcript, and other SAT scores)</p>
<p>First of all … what schools are you looking at? If an elite school does see that Spanish score, you will have to seriously make up for it with EC’s and regular grades, along with strong regular SAT/ACT scores.</p>
<p>yeah…I got the same problem LOL. i got 490…anyone wanna answer his question? i feel that im pretty screwed too…</p>
<p>seems like people don’t like answering these kinds of questions If you didn’t send your scores yet you could use score choice if the colleges let you use that…
I’m pretty much in the same boat you are in xP</p>
<p>If the colleges you are applying to honor score choice, then you are fine- those colleges will see only the scores you decide to send them.</p>
<p>“Finally, how much do you think they’ll care, seeing as it’s a definite outlier (in my grades, transcript, and other SAT scores)”</p>
<p>It honestly depends on the college, but if it is a top tier college, it will hurt your application a lot- how much it will hurt can only be speculated.</p>
<p>same problem did your spanish score effect you?</p>
