SAT Subject test scores

<p>I have a 800 Bio, 780 USH, 770 Math II and a 690 Chem. I am looking at all the standard top schools and was wondering whether the 690 would hurt me at all and whether I should retake it. I am not sure how sending them in works for schools that reject score choice, so would I have to report the Chem score to these schools and if so should I bother taking it or is it good enough with the other ones? I took chem 1/2 way through the semester and didn't bother studying for it so if I retook it now i'm pretty confident I could get an 800 or so pretty easily. I also was wondering whether I would not be able to not report it because it is on the same testing date as other subject tests, or does that not matter?</p>

<p>If you think you could do well on the retake go for it. However, it doesn’t really matter bacause colleges take the best scores out of the ones you submit. For example, Harvard requires three scores and they would take Bio, USH, and Math. Yale requires two and would take Bio and USH. Don’t bother with score choice unless you like handing money to CB, and Yale wants ALL scores no matter what. So like I said it doesn’t matter anyways because your other three scores are great. :)</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>No, don’t retake it. You already have 3 fantastic Subject test scores, more than most schools even ask for. They will take your best; retaking a 4th Subject test would look worse than a 690 IMO.</p>

<p>"Q: Is Score Choice available for both SAT and SAT Subject Tests score reports?</p>

<p>A: Yes. Students can select which scores they send to colleges by test date for the SAT and by individual test for SAT Subject Tests."</p>
