<p>Well, I haven't attended an internation school(like most of the SAT testakers did.) So I do have certain problems with sophisticated English.
Is there any bonus for an applicant, whose first language isn't English.
Should I cancel my application?</p>
<p>I still have to take the SAT2 tests, but unfortunatelly I don't think that they'll be any better...</p>
<p>Now my first SAT was a complete mess.
W520 M590 CR520
So I decided that I had two options: Either study really hard and get it right, or find something else to do.</p>
<p>So I retook it and got 710CR, 650W, 680M. Now the math is really frustrating, but that's just the way it goes. </p>
<p>As for the subject tests, they probably won't be any more forgiving. For Harvard, you shouldn't go below 700. As the ol' saying goes: If you can't do the subject tests because of language problems, how are you going to survive in class?</p>
<p>I wasn't up to pair when I started doing this college admission thing. But over a year I've learned some strategies and drastically improved my reading skills, which automatically took me from the low 600s on the Subject tests to pushing 800 in three subjects - USH included. </p>
<p>There really isn't any substitute for hard work if you're an international. And with those scores, you need to at least have some good safeties. Get excellent subject test scores and you have a shot.</p>
<p>I agree, getting low scores on the subject tests may translate to the admissions officers as you won't be able to understand the classes you take. I'd say retake the SAT1s and study especially hard for the math, because that is the same language in every country :)
Good luck!</p>
