SAT II Score Question... Urgent! =O

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I took more than 3 SAT Subject tests, and these were my scores:</p>

<p>770 Bio
760 US History
750 Math II</p>

<p>640 Math II
540 Math I
530 Latin</p>

<p>I know colleges say they "only consider the (top three / top two) scores", but I think it's extremely strange I would score higher on the Math II than Math I.</p>

<p>The reasoning for this was I took the Math II first, and then I decided I'd take the Math I after. This was b/c I didn't feel prepared for Chemistry (I signed up for the Chem subject test but didn't prep at all for it). I only realized while I was taking the Math I that colleges would value a lower Math II score than a Math I score, so I sabotaged my Math I. Also, my mind was shot after going hyper-focus for doing those Math II questions so fast, and couldn't focus all too well on the Math I.</p>

<p>So should I bother explaining my Math I score? Or not care since only the top scores are supposed to count?</p>

<p>The Math I test is notorious for having a wickedly hard curve, and the Math II test is notorious for having a wickedly easy curve. Your results are not unusual, although your reasoning was odd. Don't bother explaining, especially if your explanation is, "I bombed the test on purpose."</p>
