Retaking subject tests?

<p>Do top colleges like caltech, mit, stanfrod, etc. look down upon you if you take a subject test more than once? I'm taking the Math 2 test tomorrow and I might not get over 760 like I want. If I retake, will it look bad?</p>

<p>Also, for tomorrow I am technically registered for Bio and math 2, but I don't want to take bio right now since I don't feel ready for it. I called Collegeboard and they told me to just tell the procter that I won't be taking bio. If I don't take the bio test will it show up as a zero, or will CB just not even score it? An if I do take bio tommorrow just for the heck of it, can I just cancel the bio scores later without canceling the math 2 one (since i'll be taking both tests in the same sitting)?</p>

<p>Bio won't show up at all, not to worry.
And, no, if you want to cancel scores, you have to cancel all of them.</p>

<p>No. This is a FAQ. Ben Golub of Caltech (a recent graduate who was formerly a student member of the admission committee) gave an example in one thread of a three-time test-taker getting in. In general, colleges consider your highest scores.</p>
