Canceling/retaking SAT IIs?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>I signed up for three SAT IIs in October (Math II, USH, Bio) but planned to take only one (Math II) later on since I kinda blew off studying (well, not completely, but I didn't study as much as I needed). During test day though the room was SUPER stuffy (something wrong with the heater) and someone's phone alarm went off... twice. sooo the admin from the school said she'd write to CollegeBoard about this and offer us all a retake. She says CollegeBoard will contact us and give the option to cancel the tests taken that day, so I decided to take all tests I had originally signed up for--for practice, y'know--since they would be canceled anyway.</p>

<p>My questions:
1. Will CB actually let us cancel and retake?
2. Assuming the answer to #1 is yes, should I actually cancel my scores? Math was crazy hard (skipped at least 15), but people on CC seem to have had a hard time with it too so the curve might be favorable; History was so-so, but I thought Bio was easier than the May test I took. Part of me thinks I should cancel the scores since I didn't prepare well, part of me wants to know how I did.
3. Would colleges know if I canceled scores?
4. Will getting a lower score the second time I take a test make me look bad or hurt my admissions chances?</p>

<p>ahhh I'm so jittery. Thanks for your time! :)</p>

<p>Most colleges would actually super-score your SAT II scores. I don't think you should cancel your score (especially when the curve will most likely work toward your benefit).</p>

<p>ohh yeah, superscoring. well the problem is I'm scared I'll look bad for getting a lower score the second time around. The curve for Math II was very generous the last time I took it too (managed a 740), so I don't know how I'll fare this time around 'specially since I skipped more questions (funny, and I didn't even have a graphing calculator the first time).</p>
