I scored pretty average on the SAT (1460) and low on subject tests (660 Literature and 690 Math1). Which test is it wiser to retake on December for higher chances at Amherst and other selective colleges? btw I am a first generation international student with an application revolving heavily around arts (ecs, portfolio, essays, etc), from an underrepresented country & a low income family, if that helps.
Thank you!
1460 isn’t bad at all. The 660 and 690 are more concerning, but colleges also care a lot more about the SAT than the subject tests. Many schools don’t even require the subject tests any more. And I guess I’m confused as to what you’re asking – do you have to choose between taking the SAT or the subjects tests again, but can’t do both?
I have to choose between SAT and subject tests. I only have the december date.
Retake the subject tests.
