How do SAT Subject score work?

<p>With the College Board program ScoreChoice we can essentially choose which subject test scores colleges will see but apparently some colleges require you to send all SAT subject test scores? Is that true? Can someone educated me on the topic please because I'm getting different answers from everyone. How will colleges know that you did not send in all of your subject tests? Because I took World History freshman year and Biology sophomore year and I got around 650 on both which I don't want colleges to see because it is not a good score. Will they end up seeing it? </p>

<p>I don’t know how they know whether you did or didn’t report them all (my kids just sent everything, to every school, rather than trying to figure out the best “scheme”); perhaps there is a flag on the report that says “score choice”. I have no idea. But it’s a really bad idea to not send them all if the school requires it. In any case, the school will know that you took those early in your HS career, and I would assume, factor that in.</p>

<p>When I applied to Yale last year they required me to send all of my scores. For example, with Yale you have to send either the ACT or the SAT and subject tests. I went the SAT route - I’ve taken the SAT twice, so I had to send both scores, in addition to every subject test score I had taken, according to their policy. College Board literally does not give you an option to pick and choose SAT I, but it gives you an option to choose SAT II with a note that you should check the college’s individual requirements. If the school, like Yale, tells you to submit all scores, you MUST do so - they will be able to find out if you’ve lied to them about which tests you’ve taken.</p>

<p>Most schools participate in score choice, though. You need to check each school’s website to see what their requirements are.</p>
