Predicament!

<p>Interesting predicament...</p>

<p>I haven't done too well on my SAT Reasoning test or SAT Subject</p>

<p>Reasoning: 670, 670, 670
Subject: World History:770, Math I: 680, Biology: 650 Chemistry: 640
ACT composite: 31</p>

<p>Anyways, I have one shot left for the January SAT.</p>

<p>Now the hidden variable pops out: I have taken the ACT + Writing this December, and I don't know if I did that well on it (maybe a 31-34). I thought the ACT results would have been released to me today, so I would know if I want to retake the SAT Reasoning January if I did bad on it (32 or lower) or SAT Subject (if I got 33 or higher, so I can fix my SAT Subject Math I (or even 2) and Biology scores. (Yea, I'm applying to the Ivy Leagues, all my stats BESIDES test scores are stellar). </p>

<p>Now the problem: Common App for most colleges are due January 1st, and my ACT scores may come out later.</p>

<p>To my knowledge, to inform the college that you are going to take the January SAT, you would indicate it on the "Testing" section, for example, putting "01/2010" in the "Date Taken/To Be Taken" space and leaving the scores blank. JUST CHECKING: IS THIS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT?</p>

<p>Anyways, since I don't know how well I did on the ACT, my current tendency is to retake the SAT Reasoning. Thus my most important question:</p>

<p>After you submitted your Common Apps to the colleges, is it possible for me to change the SAT test types? (As in I put down "01/2010" in the "Date Taken/To Be Taken" for the SAT Reasoning, then change it to the SAT Subject after I submitted the Common App in? I know that you cannot change the Common App after you have submitted it, but do colleges allow you to change that if you inform them?) </p>

<p>I know my question is confusing and unique, but your help is much, MUCH appreciated.</p>

<p>Ok, right now, it seems to me like you really need to send in these scores before Jan. 1st. That is your best option. Your ACT sould go up a few points at most, and 31 is not bad. Right now, take a step back and think, what if you wait on these scores and Jan. 1st passes, and you find out that you made a 31. I say, send in what you have and hope for the best!</p>
