<p>Alright so the first time I took the math IIs it was not a good day. I got a 570... However, I studied a lot for my second try and got an 800. Penn requires all scores. Will that 570 hurt me that much?</p>
<p>When my oldest son took the SAT 2s he happened to be sick. He really wanted to take them because he had just taken the AP related tests and felt really prepared. We gave him motrin but by the time he took the math 2 his fever came raging back and needless to say he didn’t do well. He took it a second time in the fall and did much better obviously. Admissions officers are human don’t you think they will consider something like that a possibility? Or perhaps you misnumbered the test the first time etc. Relax! An 800 is awesome. </p>
<p>It should not hurt you at all. The admissions office sees large score changes like this frequently. They understand that anyone can have an off day. </p>
