<p>I took three SATII tests, and while I am satisfied with two of them, the third is significantly lower than the others. This third test is not in a subject that I plan to pursue in college, but I took it in case a college required three for admission.</p>
<p>If I apply to a college that only requires two SATIIs, will my third test be essentially ignored? I plan on self-reporting my two good SATIIs on the common app, and will thus meet the requirement, but when I have the College Board send my entire score report to the college, will they see my awful third SATII? And if they do, will it be a factor in my admission?</p>
<p>If you are writing it on the commonAPP do you even have to send it? If you do, I don't think it will be a big deal. I would guess that its like superscoring your SATs, they just take the highest and ignore the rest.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm not sure if you have to send the official score report before or after you are accepted...</p>
<p>If before though, I'm hoping that my low SATII will be ignored.</p>
<p>You must send your SAT score report from collegeboard as part of your application. Also, you should probably report all of your scores on the common app. If a college only requires 2 subject tests, I think they'll only consider your best 2.
Note that the self-reporting on the common app is not official. Schools must receive the official report from collegeboard.</p>
<p>Schools <em>will</em> receive your official score report from the CB. Don't sweat it. Unless you are going to be a math major and failed the SAT II math or something (which reading your post, you are not), it shouldn't disadvantage you at all.</p>
