<p>Is there any value in sending SAT II scores to colleges that don't require them? Would they help your chances in receiving a scholarship?</p>
<p>I kinda want to too. You have 4 free reports, definitely don't pay to send them unless they are REALLY good.</p>
<p>SAT II scores often show off a strength that the SAT I's don't. If you're good at foreign language, science, and/or history and do well on the related Subject Test(s), it can be useful to submit your results, even they're not required.</p>
<p>My daughter's college recommended, but did not require, the submission of SAT II scores. I don't believe they had any impact on the decision to admit her -- her SAT I scores were more than adequate -- but I know they came into play in the decision to award her a merit scholarship. If you have great SAT II scores, and the college(s) to which you are applying offer merit aid, I certainly don't think it hurts to send them along.</p>
<p>Many colleges will see SAT II scores anyway, even when not required, because they are on the same Score Reports that the SAT I's are on. Colleges handle this in different ways. Some pass the entire Score Report along to the staff members who will be evaluating the applicants; others only pass along the required tests. Also, many high schools put all standardized test results on transcripts. So, the bottom line is that sometimes your admission adjudicators see Subject Test scores, whether you want them to or not.</p>
<p>Conversely, if you DO want them to see your Subject Test scores but not your SAT I's, you'll have a hard time because the results are sent together. Only occasionally is this an issue ... e.g., if your target schools are test-optional or if you fared far better on the ACT and want colleges to use that score in lieu of the SAT I. But do be aware that sending test results from the SAT I means that colleges are likely to see (though not necessarily use) the Subject Test scores ... and vice versa.</p>
<p>I would say yes, but sally_rubenstone is right they will see them usually.</p>
