<p>Basicaly, i am going to take 2 subeject tests in june, wr history and math ii. I am all good in history, but i think i am going to fail big time on math. So if thats the case i'll retake math in october. Will universities see my most likely terrible old score? Excuse my spelling im on my ipod rite now. Thx!</p>
<p>Only if you send it.</p>
<p>some schools require you to send all the scores and some dont. Somewhere on collegeboard, you can see a link that shows you what different schools expect.</p>
<p>No schools request that you send all subject test scores. Some will request you send all SAT scores, but for SAT Subject, it’s totally up to you. When you send the score report to schools, you can use “score choice” to select which scores are sent and which aren’t. </p>
<p>Just make sure you don’t use collegeboards free score reports, or sign up to have them sent on the day of your test. In both these cases, your scores will be sent before you even get to see them.</p>
<p>^It is not correct that “no schools request that you send all subject test scores.” Some “all scores” colleges do require all SATs and SAT subject tests if you are relying on them for admission; e.g., Yale states the following:</p>
<p>“Yale does not participate in Score Choice. Therefore, you need to send Yale the results of all SAT and SAT Subject Tests or all ACT tests that you have taken.”</p>
<p>As to colleges learning of all your scores: (a) if the college is one of those that require all SAT and SAT subject test scores, then you need to proivide them all; (b) check what your high school does; many put all your scores on your official high school transcript sent to colleges so telling College Board not to send them all won’t prevent the college from learning of the scores.</p>
<p>I was thinking of Yale when I mentioned all test scores are required. However, if you have a good ACT score, you can submit only ACT scores and ignore all SAT I & II scores.</p>
<p>Colleges do have their own score choice rules that you have to follow, but college board has a rule that comes into play with your question also. </p>
<p>If you take Math II twice, you cannot send just one of the scores. If you want to send in an SAT II score, you must send all scores in that same subject. For example, you can take Math II, US History, and Physics and then elect to send only Math II and US History, leaving Physics unreported. But if you retake any subject test, you cannot just send one of those dates - you have to send both test dates in Math II (or whatever test), or neither.</p>
<p>Oh well that sucks. I mean i don’t even have a graphic calc, and if I get it now I surely wont learn how to use it by the time the test comes. And I haven’t even studied some things from the test. I have the Barrons prep book and it includes matrixes. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ARE THOSE, I HAVENT EVEN STUDIED THEM IN HS. NEITHER DO I KNOW WHAT CALCULUS OR PRE-CALCULUS IS. Oh my I can’t wait for the test lol.</p>
<p>(I am an international student)</p>
<p>^People who take Math 2 are self-selecting students who are very strong in higher-level HS math. With the help of a generous curve, perfect 800 scores are common, so represent only 88th percentile in performance ranking. While breaking 700 is generally considered “good” on most subject tests, a 700 on Math 2 is ranked a low 62nd percentile. So you can see why it isn’t a good idea to take Math 2 if you haven’t studied the topics covered.</p>

<p>Re: the graphing calculator, it is not <em>necessary</em> to take Math 2, it just helps most test takers with speed. It’s certainly not advisable if it is new to you and you haven’t mastered the use of one. </p>
<p>Have you studied this page that explains more about the Math 1 vs. Math 2 tests and also addresses calculators?</p>
<p>[Math</a> 2 - SAT Subject Test Math Level 2 Practice Questions](<a href=“http://sat.collegeboard.com/practice/sat-subject-test-preparation/mathematics-level-2]Math”>http://sat.collegeboard.com/practice/sat-subject-test-preparation/mathematics-level-2)</p>
<p>Maybe you should drop Math 2 and take something else in its place. Call your test center to confirm they will allow you to change subject tests (this may not be an option at an international test center, but call to find out!). See</p>
<p>[SAT</a> Subject Tests - Cancellations & Changes](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat-subject/register/change]SAT”>College Board Will No Longer Offer SAT Subject Tests or SAT with Essay – College Board Blog)</p>
<p>^In general I’m pretty decent at maths. It is my strongest section on SAT I. I know and understand the concepts very well, but my inability to avoid stupid mistakes gets me a bit. I’ve got a B in math because of that. Now im studying from my barron’s book, it seems really though. I’ll have to review functions very well as i am struggling with them the most. I studied trigonometry, logarithms, sequences and a bit of planimetrics this year in HS. I wont cancel the test now. I’ll see how I do on it, and if I’ll feel that it went really awfully, then I’ll cancel it right away and dedicate my summer to studying and learning to use graphic calc. </p>
<p>Good plan?</p>
<p>If you take the test and fear you did poorly, you may cancel up to Wednesday after. You must do it in writing. See the form linked below.</p>
<p>[Canceling</a> SAT Scores - How to Cancel Scores](<a href=“http://sat.collegeboard.com/scores/cancel-sat-scores]Canceling”>http://sat.collegeboard.com/scores/cancel-sat-scores)</p>
<p>** You cannot cancel just one subject test! If you cancel Math 2, it will cancel your History, too! ** </p>
<p>That is the reason it is sometimes better to skip a test OR change to a subject you know better. This is generally easy to do at the test site. You should call in advance to see if it is permitted at your international test site. From the College Board: “There is no charge for changing from one Subject Test to a different Subject Test. If you want to substitute one Subject Test for another, you should do so at the test center. You may substitute any Subject Test offered except the Language Tests with Listening. You cannot change to a listening test on test day because test centers do not have extra CDs.”</p>
<p>So i can come to the test center and only take one test instead of two? And if i don’t skip the math test and do poorly on it, i wont be able to present the universities with my history score without sending them my math score, is that correct?</p>
<p>College Board will allow you to send to colleges the history score without the math score assuming you wait to send scores until after you receive the test scores. However, the colleges may require you to send all SAT subject test scores if you send any and for that you have to check each college’s rules.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks all.</p>
<p>What about SAT I? Do i have to send all?</p>
<p>it depends on the school. some schools require you to send all and some let you send the ones you like.</p>
<p>That also depends on college. Go here for a fairly accurate list of colleges that require and do not require you to send all SAT scores if you send any (changes have occurred since this list was created). Any college listed as “All Scores” is one that requires all SAT scores if you send any; whether they also require all SAT IIs, or all ACTs if you send ACTs, is something that has to be checked on a school by school basis for those “all Scores” colleges: <a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf[/url]”>http://professionals.collegeboard.com/profdownload/sat-score-use-practices-list.pdf</a></p>
<p>I’ve been wondering about this, too. Since you can choose which ACT score to send to colleges, how would a college know that you took it more than once if you only submit score from your best session? Does the report that ACT sends to colleges mention that you’ve had multiple sessions?</p>
<p>^^^^^bump.</p>
<p>ACT provides nothing to colleges to show that you took a test you did not send so colleges won’t learn from ACT.</p>
<p>However, your high school might tell all. Many put all your scores on your official high school transcript that is sent to colleges so check what your high school does.</p>
