<p>I'm in tenth grade; I just took the subject test in Literature this month and got a 740, which I know isn't a <em>bad</em> score, but not quite as high as I'd been hoping for given my results on practice tests. I suppose my question is two-fold: a) Would this score be worth a re-take, and b) will colleges take into account that I took it as a sophomore? Thank you in advance. :)</p>
<p>Hi, I’m taking the lit test as a sophomore too in June.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that colleges don’t take such things into account. It would be unreasonable for them to factor in what year everyone is in when they take subject tests.</p>
<p>It might be worth a retake if you are planning to apply to the ivies and believe that you can do significantly better (780+). I would consider what you missed - technical terms, misinterpreted a passage, etc. 740 is a great score though.</p>
