SAT vs SAT Subject Tests

Test Preparation
1

<p>After this summer I am going into my senior year and I only have time to take one test in September, so I am trying to figure out which I should take.</p>

<p>So I only took the SAT once and I didn't do that well on it, I got a 2000. And the schools I'm looking at are looking for better scores (Cornell, BC). I took the subject tests and got a 730 on Math II, 690 on Chem, and 660 on US History.
I just got back my ACT score and got a 34, which I was happy with. But I was wondering if that is enough to give to colleges without my SAT score. I was thinking of retaking the subject tests and doing better on them since they are required for those schools. But that would mean that I would not give them my SAT score and only give the ACT. So is that a good idea? What should I do?</p>

<p>Aren’t you supposed to send all your scores to ivy schools?</p>

<p>I’d recommend you just retake the subject tests. Your SAT might not be good, but your ACT is. Colleges will see that when looking at admissions. I’d recommend that you just focus on Subject tests now.</p>

<p>Cornell doesn’t accept score choice, but I know that some of the ivies do.</p>

<p>I’d definitely retake your SAT IIs though they are pretty low.</p>
