<p>Most Ivies require two SAT IIs. Let say I took 4 SAT II's. I scored low 700 on one and high 600 on the other. But on the other two exam i got 780 and 750. Should I send in all four scores to show that I am a well rounded person or only the top two because only the top two scores matter?</p>
<p>Like everything else, it depends. If you took physics in 9th grade and then took the test 3 years later and scored a 690, I would think that it would the same as haven just taken AP physics, took the test right away and scored 750. The person with the 3 year wait is not that far behind and looks to have retained a lot. On the other hand, a person who just took the course is expected score in mid-700s. While SAT IIs matter, they matter in the context of everything else in your school record. Basically send the highest that you think helps you. If your gut says it does not help, then do not send. </p>
<p>Depends on the subject and major, but I think you should send them only if >700</p>

<p>Be aware that some Ivies (e.g. Yale) require that you send all your SAT Subject Test scores. </p>
<p>send only the top two. (and like disari said, some schools like Yale, Cornell and I think UPenn want all of your scores) SAT II actually matters quite a lot. when my guidance counselor spoke to Harvard, they indirectly told her that the subject tests> SAT writing portion> math and CR</p>
<p>I’m in a unique situation. I had a couple low SAT subject tests and had to send them. However, I did the same subjects for A levels and had distinctions. Would they overlook the low Sat 2`s in light of the fact that A levels are actually wider in scope and depth? </p>
<p>I had a 590 in Spanish. Simply did not do my homework on the exam. Assumed I would ace it since I’m fairly fluent. it’s structure and time constraints threw me off. </p>
<p>If you retake a subject test and do better, do you have to send in both scores (to schools like Yale, upenn, etc)?</p>
<p>Read the website for each school.
I don’t know about UPenn, but yes, you have to submit all your SAT scores to Yale.</p>
<p>Penn does require all scores. Score choice can’t be used for SAT I as well as Subject SATs.</p>
<p>I’d send in the higher ones.</p>
<p>If the high 600s one was a language test, then that is actually not a bad score. My SAT IIs were (four years ago) 800 Math 2, 790 Chem, 770 US history, 670 (or 80) Spanish, and those are apparently considered to be very good.</p>
<p>I agree that they’re important, but not the end all be all in decision making. It also depends I think on your major, was the low score in your field? That may look suspicious. Generally, I doubt it would hurt to send in anything over 700, especially if that low 700 score is on a test with a tough curve (like the language exams). Even the high 600 might be worth sending if, like others said, it was taken a while ago or has a difficult curve. Personally I got 740 USH, 720 lit, and 710 Bio E and sent them all (despite not being great scores), and got a likely letter from Columbia. My high SAT I’s (2390 single sitting) and perfect GPA probably meant my subject tests didn’t need to be phenomenal. I think there is some relativity to it, it’s all reviewed in the context of your application. </p>
