<p>I’d retake reasoning. Do you really have to submit your subject test scores?</p>

3

<p>Yes, the UC’s require that you send in the subject test scores :/</p>

4

<p>yeah. retake your SAT Reasoning. they carry more weight.</p>

<p>I do not know your UC converted GPA but if your goal is to become UC eligible then it is better to take the SAT rather than the subject tests because you have a chance to raise three different scores (writing, critical reading and math) rather than just two (highest two SAT II scores are used) that are used in the UC eligibility calculation, see <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
