Do "Extra" SAT IIs Do Anything?

Applying to College
1

<p>I've taken the SATs and I did very well on them, and I have taken four different SAT Subject Tests over my three years in high school. These are my results:
Freshman year: Biology E/M - 590
Sophomore year: Physics - 720
Junior year: Math II - 800
U.S. History - 800</p>

<p>I don't think anywhere I'm applying requires three subject tests and certainly none require four, so theoretically the biology score shouldn't hurt me. But should I try to study up and retake either the physics or biology test? The problem with these is I haven't taken biology since freshman year and I don't enjoy the subject, while the sophomore physics course didn't cover half the material on the subject test.</p>

<p>Also, is there any chance that the upward trend in the scores can actually negate the problem of the lower scores? Basically, I would like to know if I should take any subject test this fall.</p>

<p>its not a problem at all. you said it yourself-you aren't applying to any school that requires 3 subject tests. so your schools will look at your 2 800s and ignore the rest. you can't do better than two 800s...</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that a few schools do specifically want a science subject test, so I'll need to submit the math and physics instead of math and history to places like Carnegie Mellon. Just another variable to throw in there...</p>
