<p>If i take my subject tests in october, will I have my scores back in time to apply early action?</p>
<p>I'd like to know how I did before sending my scores to my reach schools. If they come back worse than I expect, I'd much rather just retake and apply regular decision, rather than stay EA with bad scores.</p>
<p>Yes, you will receive your scores back in time for consideration to apply early if you test in October. The latest you can take tests for early applications is November. If you test in November, I don’t think you will get your scores back in time to still give it some consideration.</p>
<p>^^ actually most colleges will accept the November scores, but you will need to send them without seeing them, for most schools’ EA/ED deadlines. As with all things, check with the specific colleges where you plan to apply :)</p>
