<p>Well I took one freshman year, one sophomore year and two yesterday, so my testing has been pretty spread out. Those four all coincided with academic topics that I was currently learning in school so it didn’t require excessive additional preparation to take the SAT IIs.</p>
<p>I’m planning on taking another 2 in June so I can study for them while studying for finals and possibly 2 more in October if I feel like it.</p>
<p>^^kameron: I don’t believe all schools acknowledge score choice for the SAT II. There are schools that require SAT II scores and also don’t acknowledge score choice. This includes some of the Ivies.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that almost all top tier schools let you select which SAT Subject Tests you want to send as long as the required amount is met.</p>
<p>@Jersey13: Either that’s true, or we’re both sharing the same delusion.</p>
<p>On a completely random topic, I can’t believe I won’t be graduating till 2012… I really should get off these forums.</p>
<p>not non-scorechoice schools like yale or upenn.</p>
<p>HAHA! i did not realize my account name is similar to another guy’s. actually, my first chocie was “newaccount” but they said no, so i added an extra t.</p>
<p>would 700s hurt? like 730s, 720s, 710s…if you already have 750+ on four, would you guys send the other lower ones?</p>
<p>
I would only send the 3 highest.</p>
<p>
Really? You noticed that they made you chose a different name, but didn’t think that someone else already had that name? Why did you think they made you change it? XD</p>
<p>Jersey, unfortunately you can’t use score choice for SATIIs either if the school doesn’t accept the policy.</p>
<p>[Yale</a> Daily News - No choice on scores](<a href=“http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/university-news/2009/01/16/no-choice-on-scores/]Yale”>http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/university-news/2009/01/16/no-choice-on-scores/)</p>
<p>(Sorry I’m jumping in the middle of this thread, but I just logged in, went to the “lastest posts” link, and this one happened to be on top :P)</p>
<p>@xrCalico23: I wasn’t aware of that. I’m guessing it actually varies from school to school (I cited Stanford).</p>
<p>Perhaps this would be a useful list/thread to make…</p>
<p>^haha, that may be a great idea, except I’m way too lazy tonight.</p>
<p>
Aw, Yale may see a 790 and an 800 on the same subject test then :(</p>
<p>Well, I’m sure they’ll see a huge difference between a 790 and a 800. </p>
<p>(I’m sure they would love to see either of these scores, but idk how they’ll feel about seeing both).</p>
<p>Obviously. Studies have shown that two zeros in a three digit number are infinitely more aesthetically pleasing than one, especially to adcoms.</p>
<p>Also depends on on which digits the zeros are placed, I guess…</p>
<p>^^Of course, that’s why a 600>>790. </p>
<p>Failed attempts at jokes aside, a friend of mine who intends to apply to some of the top tier colleges (HYPSM, etc.) was wondering how 770s and 780s look. Should she retake them?</p>
<p>Seriously, I know this is CC, but let’s not retake 750+ on subject tests. I can’t see adcoms liking a retake of a 770 or 780. It’s a question or two, which is definitely within the margin of error. Spend your morning doing something better :)</p>
<p>And this is coming from someone who retook a 2250 for a 2330.</p>
<p>Taking 3. Done with them now. I wouldn’t retake if I got over a 700.
I mean honestly lol. It’s a one hour subject test. Retaking them just seems neurotic.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what I told her as well; however, as a USNCO and USPhO Semifinalist who received a 780 and 770 respectively on the corresponding subject tests, she seemed rather concerned. That said, she has three 800’s (math, ush, lit), so I don’t see any reason for her to retake.</p>
<p>I took 3: World History, Bio, and Lit. But thank God Harvard only needs two!</p>
<p>Question: If I suck at math, and I take Math I and do well, but don’t take Math II, will that be frowned upon at top schools? I’m taking Math I as a soph this year, as well as World History. Next year, I am surely taking Biology and US History SAT II’s and MAYBE math II if I’m up for the task. I don’t think 3 will be good though, especially math II being the 3rd. I don’t want to completely bomb it.</p>
