Hey everybody,
I’m in a real jiffy lube right now.
I’m sending colleges my standardized test scores, and I personally chose to send my 1 ACT Score and my 3 Subject Test Scores. I scored a (35-35-35-35) and 3 800’s. That’s it.
Now I’m at Collegeboard’s shitake mushroom website trying to send my scores, and it automatically selects BOTH my Subject tests and some old absolutely terrible 2190’s I scored my freshmen year that never should have happened. When I go to deselect SAT scores from my options, I get the good old “WARNING YOU ARE USING SCORE REPORT THIS WILL YIELD AUTOMATIC REJECTION FROM MOST COLLEGES” error warning.
What.the.HECK collegeboard.
I asked my good old friends in college about it, and apparently in years prior, you would send SAT Subject tests alone as is no big deal and had a good old time of it. I even saw him do this through screen sharing skype.
How do I do this, how do I send just subject tests without getting chewed out for A) Using Score Choice, or B) Being an incompetent SAT Test taker?
Please help it’s due tomorrow lol clutch city.
To clarify,
If I deselect all of my SAT’s (2 total), and not deselect any of my Subject Tests, will they still see that stupid “Notice: Student Has Used Score Choice” disclaimer, or is the system smarter than that?
Some colleges, Yale for example, require all SAT scores, SAT 1 and subject tests. If your colleges are flexible in this regard, I would just disregard the warning on collegeboard and send subject test scores.
Hmm, I know that on my MIT application, I only reported my ACT scores and left the SAT blank, ( as only 1 is required). When they receive the sat score report, will they add in my SAT scores to their database and judge me on it, or will they disregard them because I didn’t include them in the application itself?
Basically, what I’m trying to get to, is if I use score choice on SAT scores, will colleges be able to differentiate between my score choice on SAT vs my score choice on Subject Tests, because really I don’t care about superscoring or SAT test at all I only want to send subject tests in which I have nothing to score choice.
Same problem here. Yale does allow score choice for subject tests. Copied the following from there website -Yale does participate in Score choice for the reporting of SAT Subject Tests. You may wait to receive your score results before deciding which scores, if any, you would like to send to Yale.
Again from their website -Yale does not participate in Score Choice for the reporting of SAT and ACT results. You should report all scores you have received on whichever test you choose to submit.
I interpreted the above as you need to report all scores from either SAT or ACT.
That is how I interpreted that, too. If you send subject tests, you have to send sat1. But not all colleges are that strict.
Does anybody know exactly what admissions people see, as in, will they see that score choice was only used for SAT and not for Subject Tests?
Actually I interpreted it as all SAT or all ACT scores, and that subject tests were optional and you could choose which to send.
Correct. Since the original question was about sending subject tests without sat 1, i was addressing that issue.
