<p>I'm currently looking at the SAT 2 requirements for schools and noticed that some require all scores to be sent to them and some accept score choice.
Let's say that I have three 700+, one 600 and one 200.
Will the 200 hurt if I send all my scores?</p>
<p>ZombieDante - It has already happened…
entomom - Hey, sorry for the duplicate post. I saw it just now due to the time difference. But if some colleges want full reporting, I have to send all my test results right?</p>
<p>Yes, if they want full reporting send them all. If your… issue… caused you to do so poorly, then put in your additional information section that you had the… issue.</p>
<p>Well yeah but wouldn’t it make sense to cancel all of them if you know you didn’t do a whole test…? And then retake the tests the next time and get 700+ in all of them? Lol but yeah additional information’s the way to go.</p>
<p>If you take SAT IIs on the same day (up to 3 are allowed) whether you can withhold one or more of them from sending simply depends on how you order them sent. For any colleges that you designate in the test application to receive scores automatically upon release, you will not be able to prevent any test from that applicable test day from being sent. However, if you wait until scores come out and then order them sent and pay an extra fee per college for it, you will be to use score choice to prevent one or more of the subject tests from that day from being sent. Nevertheless if college requires you to send all scores you should do so.</p>
<p>As to OPs original question, the plain fact is that no one has actually ever had such extreme differences in subject tests scores, 200 and 700 (note that it is almost as hard to score 200 as it is 800 because to score 200 actually requires answering every question wrong, not just leaving questions unanswered) and what would happen is unknown. However, my general understanding based on what colleges claim they do is the following. The Colleges that both require two SAT IIs and also require you to send all SAT II scores claim to use only the highest two scores for admission. Some other colleges that require two SAT IIs may actually consider all scores sent (Princeton and Harvard so state) but they don’t require you to send all scores and accept score choice. There are a number of colleges that recommend but do not require two SAT IIs, such as Stanford, which may consider any sent, but they consider for admission only those scores that help, not hurt, you for admission and thus a 200 would not be considered even if sent.</p>
