I took the Biology E and Math Level 2 subject tests last month but I did horrible. I know UCs don’t require these scores, and the majors I chose don’t recommend them either. Should I send my scores anyway? Will they make me look bad or will they not make a difference?
It depends what “horrible” means. If you scored above the 75th-80th percentile nationally on the tests, I highly doubt the scores will hurt you. However, considering that even the specific colleges you applied to within the UC’s don’t recommend the tests, I would wager to say there’s no point in sending them, good or bad.
