<p>I got my SAT Subject Test scores today...</p>
<p>Math Level 1 - 770
Math Level 2 - 800
US History - 630 (AHHH!!!)</p>
<p>Am I screwed by the History? I am going to take at least one more Subject Test, but are colleges going to see the history score and be repulsed by it?</p>
<p>a) If you took the AP and did well, then no.
b) You can always take a fourth test so that you have a backup score.
c) It's not that bad.
d) Why did you take both math levels? I don't know anyone who's done that...</p>

<p>well, its a long story....but the punchline is...i signed up for three tests, wasnt prepared for one, so took the math 1 instead</p>
<p>no... they will take your 2 highest don't worry.</p>
<p>Really naderboy2002? I am in the same boat as mchipmunk 90:
US History 760
Biology E 760
Literature 620
I didn't prep for Lit at all bc I originally signed up to take Spanish but bailed when I saw the sample questions on CB bc I had never heard of like 60% of the words. So if a college asks for 3 scores they only look at your highest two??</p>
<p>"no... they will take your 2 highest don't worry."</p>
<p>im taking the world history SAT II and just took the AP European History test. I would rather study for my finals than teach myself all the world history that was not covered in my class. I'm probably going to get like a 500. Does it matter since they only take your top 2?</p>
<p>what's the point of taking a test if you're not prepared for it?</p>
<p>Actually, it depends on the requests of the individual program you are applying for. As a general rule, if a school asks for 3 SAT Subject tests, they'll look at the 3 highest scores. If they ask for two, they'll look at the highest two.</p>
<p>Of course, if you apply to an Engineering program or something like that and give them 700s in Literature and History and then 500s in Math or Physics they probably won't be pleased.</p>
<p>If you do well on at least one more I think you should be fine. However, I would consider it a problem as it stands because it appears as though all you can do is math. But if you take another and do well, no one will care.
Although, you may want to check and be sure you don't have any colleges that require 3 and won't take both maths, because then you may have to take fifth.</p>

<p>I signed up for it months ago. I'm not prepared because I'm in an AP European History class and the SAT II is on World History. My GC advised me to sign up for this SAT II. I got the book yesterday (June 4th Test Date), and realized how much I don't know.</p>
<p>Should I just not take it? Is that even possible? </p>
<p>I guess I'll make a thread.</p>
<p>I'm having a somewhat similar issue...</p>
<p>I just got my Sat II scores in and I'm wondering... How bad is a 680 in English Literature? I did well on the SAT verbal section and I recently took an AP English exam that I expect I did well in, but is that score a reason for concern?</p>
