<p>I received a 31 on the ACT and from practice SAT tests, I've received no higher than a 1700. However, I would like to send in my SAT II Subject Test scores for Math II and Chemistry since I'm looking into engineering. I plan on retaking the ACT in September and I'm aiming for a 34+. Will it look bad if I send in both score reports or should I probably just stick to sending in the ACT? The colleges I'm looking into are UCs, Stanford, Columbia, Caltech, Harvard, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon. </p>
<p>When you mean “both score reports” do you mean your subject test scores? Because if you send in your ACT you can send in your subject tests even though they aren’t required. The subjects will act as supplements, just like AP scores. It just shows your knowledge, unless you did poorly on them.
I think it’d be detrimental to send in your sat score if you got a 1700 because that would undermine your other scores. But I also found that when I took the actual SAT my scores were 200+ points higher than my practice tests, maybe because I was more focused. Still, I think if you got a 34+ on your ACT and your subject tests are good, then just send those. You don’t need to send in your SAT I score. </p>
<p>Thank you so much. However, I have been told that when you send your SAT Score Report it includes SAT I and SAT II Subject Tests. And colleges might not like it if you use score choice so that your SAT score report only includes subject tests. Please correct me if I’m wrong. </p>
<p>The guidance counselor at our HS stated “schools want to see ALL test scores, and they will know which tests one has taken.” So given that statement, if true, and one does not provide test scores for tests that have been taken the school will wonder why and may assume poor test grade.</p>
<p>I was told you could choose what scores to report. </p>
<p>Look at the web sites of the schools you’ve listed to see what each requires. For instance Stanford requires all scores taken. <a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/freshman/testing.html”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/application/freshman/testing.html</a>. but that is not true of most schools</p>
