SAT Subject Tests - should I retake?

<p>660 - Chem
690 - Spanish
780 - Math II</p>

<p>I know that CMU only accepts the Dec. testing date, does this mean that it would not help me at all to retake Chem? I'm almost positive that Spanish won't affect me, and I'm pleased with my Math II score, but will Chem hurt my chances at CIT/ECE? It had been two years since I'd taken chem and my class didn't cover nearly half the stuff on the test so I did the best I could...how screwed am I?</p>

<p>Chem could hurt. I would like to know to maybe e-mail the admissions counselor. I’m retaking Math2 for some other schools but I’m not sure if CMU will take it.</p>

<p>I would advise re-taking your Chem to get it at least to 700. SAT II’s aren’t a major decision-making factor (they of course look at the whole application) but without 2 math/science subject tests at 700+ I think you might be hurting your chances.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, I think I’m going to end up not retaking anyway though just because my limited chemistry background will probably result in a similar score and this is the only weak score I have…I’m hoping my other scores and activities will compensate this one weak point.</p>

<p>good choice. even if you do, you’d have to rush your scores.</p>
