SAT II dilemma

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I wasn't sure where to post this, so sorry:</p>

<p>I Just took the SAT II's today- Lit and Math IIC- and i know I did horrible- i skipped/got wrong at least 15 questions each. And so, I am seriously considering canceling my scores.
However, one of the colleges I want to apply to- Princeton- says I "must submit 3 SAT II scores". So far, I have only taken two- Biology and US History. Should I keep my SAT II scores to fulfill the requirement? (are 3 SAT II's considered an actual requirement?). Should I cancel them and try to take them again in January?</p>

<p>I would really appreciate your response
thank you</p>

<p>Princeton does indeed require 3 subject tests. Keep in mind that SAT IIs are like SAT Is in that the highest scores are considered the most. So if you wait and don't cancel and yours scores end up bad, you can retake them in January. However, if you are sure you did terrible and can do better in Jan, then by all means cancel but also be positive that you will be able to test on the Jan date.</p>
