<p>I just got my subject test scores back and got a 690 on Chem and 800 on Math II. Will these scores get me rejected from top schools? Should I retake in January? How will the 690 impact me?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing. I don’t think the 690 will hurt you </p>
<p>Well, I also just got my scores. 770 in Math II, and a surprising 680 in Physics 
I think I will only send the math score, but I would like to know what other people suggest you.</p>
<p>If the school in question doesn’t require subject tests, and doesn’t require you to send ALL or NONE, then it seems reasonable to hold back scores < 700. However, the 690 is close enough to the line that it shouldn’t sink an otherwise strong application. Is your SAT I strong?</p>
<p>As for attempting a re-take, how likely do you think you would improve on the Chem score? Are you taking Chem this year, or the information already fading from a prior year?</p>
<p>Advice to any juniors reading this thread…take your subject tests in the spring when you’re all full of AP test preparation and the information is freshest.</p>
<p>@VSGPeanut101 thanks for the reply. My act is strong in my opinion (34 Composite; 34 W, 34 M, 35 R, 34 S, 11 Essay) with a 35 super score (perfect on math). I’ll probably end up retaking the chemistry on in January if I get deferred from MIT since I applied EA. I am currently taking IB Chemistry Higher Level, though the material/options don’t really focus on subject test content (focus is more O-Chem, Drugs, Food Chem, Environmental Chem)…</p>
<p>Not sure what to do at this point either. I bombed my Math SATII. I didn’t even take the Level 2 test because I really didn’t feel confident that we had covered much of the material in trig. So I took the Level 1 (hey, MIT said they had no preference), felt really good the test day, only to get a 680 on it @-) I really felt like I had it. Rocked the physics part though! :D</p>
<p>My problem is - should I self report my math score on the common app? I put on my previous applications that I would be taking the math subject test, do schools get updated if I self report scores? The only schools I have left to apply to are USC, and <em>maybe</em> Stanford and Princeton. I know stanford cares, but IDK about USC.</p>
