<p>Hi,
I am currently a sophomore and I plan on taking an SAT II tomorrow, and I was wondering if I HAVE to send this score to colleges, as I plan on taking other tests Junior year. If I do not do well on this test tomorrow do I have to send the score?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Some colleges require that all of them be sent, some do not. It depends on the college.</p>
<p>Thank you for your helpful answer.</p>
<p>So for example NYU’s requirements include one of the following: SAT Reasoning Test; ACT (with writing test); 3 SAT Subject Tests (one in literature or the humanities, one in math or science, and one non-language test of the student’s choice); 3 AP exam scores earned prior to senior year (one in literature or the humanities, one in math or science, and one non-language of the student’s choice).</p>
<p>This means I could send just my 3 top subject test scores, and I would not need to include any other low ones?</p>
<p>Also, for example Colombia’s websites says that they require:
SAT
The SAT consists of three sections, each graded on an 800-point scale; if you take the test more than once, you will be evaluated on the highest score you receive in any individual section.</p>
<p>ACT
You may alternatively take the ACT Assessment, graded on a 36-point scale; if you take the test more than once, you will be evaluated on the highest composite score you receive. The writing component offered by the ACT Assessment is mandatory for candidates for Columbia.
SAT Subject Tests
In addition to either the SAT or ACT, you must also take two SAT Subject Tests. For Columbia College, you may take any two; for Columbia Engineering, you must take any mathematics test and either Physics or Chemistry. Students must submit all SAT Subject Test scores from all test dates.</p>
<p>So does this mean I can just send my top two subject tests?</p>
<p>thanks again</p>
<p>By the way, I mean sending my top subject tests along with SAT or ACT.</p>
<p>I interpret the Columbia language to require the submission of all subject test scores, even if it is more than two subjects. On the other hand, language on the NYU website, quoted below, indicates that you do not need to submit all of your subject test scores. If fact, for NYU you do not need to submit any subject test scores. The NYU website states:</p>
<p>So long as they comply with the minimum requirements specified here, an applicant should feel comfortable presenting material which presents him or her in the best light. No preferential treatment is given to any one of the following standardized test options in our admission process. Applicants for admission to NYUs New York City campus are required to submit one of the following:</p>
<p>The SAT Reasoning Test or;
The ACT (with Writing Test) or;
Three SAT Subject Test scores (one in literature or the humanities, one in math or science, and one non-language test of the students choice) or;
Three AP exam scores earned prior to senior year (one in literature or the humanities, one in math or science, and one non-language of the students choice)</p>
