<p>I currently have Math 1,2 and US History subject tests above 750s.
But I've taken the Bio test freshmen and sophomore yr (im a rising senior) and both of them were 680s.
I'm applying to some reach schools and I figured it would look bad.</p>
<p>Should I retake my Bio?</p>
<p>Also, is 750 on Math 2 and 780 on Math 1 bad?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Your math scores are fine. Unless you’re taking more biology at school, son’t worry about SAT scores taken as a freshman or sophomore. Most schools don’t.</p>
<p>The problem is I want to major in Biology in college and Im looking at top colleges.
Should I still stop worrying about it?</p>
<p>Most colleges don’t even require submission of SAT subject test scores. However several top schools may require them if you submit the SAT instead of the ACT. However, many hat require them only ask for 2, and they will take your two highest scores. I don’t ink that your biology score will harm you, unless that is one of the 2 scores you send.</p>
<p>Well most of the colleges I’m applying to require me to send all my SAT scores (I assume its the same for subject tests)
So they will be seeing all my subject test scores.
Would they only care about the two best ones? </p>
<p>Thanks for your reply</p>
<p>Honestly, 680 isn’t terrible; I think the nationwide average is somewhere from mid 500s-600s. 1 bad score isn’t going to have a tremendous effect on your chances of getting into a good college. You should probably tell us which schools you are applying to. Most schools actually do accept score choice; even top schools such as Harvard, MIT, and Princeton</p>
<p>Im applying to quite a few schools. Some of them are Harvard, Upenn, Northwestern, JHU, etc…</p>
<p>All of those schools accept score choice except upenn
For quick reference: top schools that don’t accept score choice
Stanford
Yale
Cornell
Columbia
Pomona
UPenn</p>
<p>Would it hurt my chance at upenn if i handed in the 680 then?</p>
<p>im pretty sure most of these schools only require 2-3. If you don’t need it, don’t give the score. however, if you are interested in a field specializing in bio, you should definitely hand it in. It shows that you are proficient in the field, and may exempt you from mandatory college courses. Go to your guidance counselor for help!</p>
<p>You should take it again because it shows that you are good at Bio and you are more inclined to get your major.</p>
