<p>So I want to self-report my test scores on the CA, but yesterday I went to a Vanderbilt info session and they explicitly stated that you shouldn't report low scores (meaning any that are <700). Unfortunately, I made a 690 on my world history subject test sophomore year because I didn't really study for it and I just decided to take it on a whim. (Bad idea, obviously.) Could I just leave that one out on the self-reporting section and list all my other tests instead? Would colleges find that suspicious in any way? Do you think I should just avoid self-reporting any scores at all in that case? (I really don't want to do that, because I have really good test scores; I'm proud of them and I want the places I apply to to see them.)</p>
<p>Don’t include history unless you’re lacking subject tests</p>
<p>Include the other tests </p>
<p>It’s not suspicious</p>
<p>You don’t have to self-report any scores if you don’t want to.</p>
<p>It’s really not suspicious? Idk, I guess I’m probably just overthinking this stuff XD but I just want to make sure my app is as good as it can be. And @Thebeatlestoday I actually do want to report my scores, just not THAT ONE test.</p>
<p>Bump 10char</p>
<p>I’m having the same problem. And what if I take a subject test twice, do I have to report the scores I go both times? The problem with the self reporting section is that it explicitly tells me to list ALL of my test scores and dates.</p>
<p>Bump bump! Any senior members able to answer this question? I just got my October SAT Subject Test score back (750 on lit) and I’d like to report that. But I’m still nervous about reporting/not reporting that 690 on world history.</p>
<p>If you want to self report your scores, it’s fine to pick and choose which ones to report and leave off low scores. Of course, you also need to send official scores. If any of your schools require all scores, you’ll need to send official reports even for the low scores. Also, you can change the self reported score section for each school as you see fit. That part of the application is fully editable between submissions.</p>
<p>Wondering some of the same around here…</p>
<p>If you are free to pick and choose which scores to report, you do still have to answer the question about how many times you took the test, correct? If you took the ACT or SAT a number of times that could seem like a lot, is it best to just not self-report the SAT and/or ACT scores in this section and let the official score reports stand for themselves? Does it look unusual to have subject test and AP scores reported but not the ACT or SAT?</p>
<p>I did notice the CA only asks how many times one took the ACT and SAT, not the subject tests.</p>
<p>You can choose whichever subject test scores to self report or not reporting at all.</p>
<p>Does your GC report your test scores to Common App /Colleges? I have got unofficial SR and it shows ACT and SAt scores. Somehow ACT and SAT sent them my scores. Can you tell GC that you do not want they to report any scores and you would do them.</p>
<p>Some high schools do report scores directly with the counselor school reports. Some (but not all) colleges view scores that arrive with transcripts the same way they do official scores and will take them into consideration. Many students (and parents) in high schools that do this strongly disagree with this practice and most high schools are responsive if you (and your parents) make an effort to suppress scores from reports from your high school.</p>
<p>^^^
Sounds right; our local high school will put test scores on the transcript by default, but gives the option to remove them if requested.</p>
