Retaking SAT II b/c of BAD 1st attempt!

Applying to College
1

<p>I just got back my scores from May for the US History and Literature and one of them I really messed up BADLY, like really BADLY. I am looking into pretty competitive schools, so if I retake the exam in October and do significantly better, will they forgive the 1st test if that is the only really bad thing on my transcript? </p>

<p>Please help....I am really worried about this</p>

<p>The SAT subject tests. And thanks backfire, that makes me feel a lot better, but hopefully the 2nd time around will be significantly better</p>
