SAT subject scores dilemma

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I am a non traditional international student. Beside one college all the colleges I intend to apply ask for 2 SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>By far I did 4 subject tests
Math 2- 770</p>

<p>Physics-740</p>

<p>Hebrew (which is my native tongue)-800 (I've asked some admission offices, and they said that a good score won't harm me, but also won't do too much impression; but since I paid I did the test any way)</p>

<p>And US history-620 (although it might sounds like an excuse for a low score, I have never studied US history , I took the test because I felt it is important to know the history of the united states , in which I want to study. and since I studied by myself I took the test, that was harder then I expected)</p>

<p>Do you think I should send all the scores, just some of them, shall I add a letter that will explain why I took the US history test? Do you think I should take another test (chem , I think I can get above 700)</p>

<p>What do you think I need to do?</p>

2

<p>You are good to go - no need to write a letter…</p>

3

<p>but the 620 is kind of low</p>

4

<p>do not send the history test…its optional anyways,</p>

5

<p>But do you think the US score will show my desire to study something I have never learned
and somewhat succeed? Shall I add a letter or something?</p>

<p>I don’t know if you should write a letter or not, but if you do choose to write a letter don’t make it sound like an excuse. Instead, make it sound like you worked hard for that 620 and you’re proud of it since you’ve never taken a U.S. history class before.</p>
