<p>should I put that I got a 770 in Chinese on my application? because that's like 28% percentile</p>
<p>I have three others--700 in lit, 760 in math 2, 800 in world history--so would it be better to omit the Chinese score? colleges only want 2-3 right?</p>
<p>a 770 is 28th percentile? If so, I might think about not putting it, but colleges want to see math/foreign language SAT subject tests and a 770 is very good</p>
<p>i'd say use world history and math 2. anything other than 800 on chinese is disgraceful.</p>
<p>Chinese under 800 looks bad since most people get 800. I would do history and math 2.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>ok thanks</p>
<p>but do you think the colleges look at the score anyway because when you send your score report, they see all the scores on it?</p>
<p>if a school requires two, they'll look at your highest two. if they require three, they check highest three. </p>
<p>so, depends on the school.</p>
<p>Well you shouldn't not put a score just because it's a low percentile.</p>
<p>For example, if you are not a native speaker and you learned Chinese on your own or through your school, then a 770 is very impressive. Colleges will take into account the context of your score. But regardless, if you are only planning on putting down 2 scores for the application, you should put down two subjects that are more indicative of your education (for example, math or other academic courses). Languages are great, but I wouldn't put them down as my top 2 or top 3 just because if you are already speaking the language at home, taking the SAT 2 for it and getting a high score doesn't really mean anything.</p>
<p>Sure, colleges will get your complete score report, but they won't be scrutinizing over all of your SAT scores. They have better things to do.</p>
