Should I bother sending these scores?

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation

<p>So I took some subject tests at the june test last year and did very mediocre, with</p>

<p>us history - 800
chemistry - 720</p>

<p>and worst of all...</p>

<p>math II -650</p>

<p>Basically, my math teacher last year was terrible, but I have studied over the summer and ready to retake the last two tests. </p>

<p>I think that I am correct in saying that you have to send all scores from one date if you send any at all, so what should I do?</p>

<p>Send both test dates, this time retaking the math and chem, or just retake all of them?</p>

<p>I know this might sound super picky, but I am applying to the most selective schools and want to have the best chances possible.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I would recommend retaking US History.</p>

<p>Why would you retake US History?</p>

<p>Retake Math II for sure. Your Chemistry is OK, retake only if you have the time + you think you can improve by 50+.</p>

<p>yes, I can definitely improve those two scores to 750+. </p>

<p>The only reason that I would retake all three is that I wouldn’t want to send those crappy scores from the last test date. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think when you send the scores, you have to send all of them that you took on a single date.</p>

<p>So I don’t really want admissions committees to see a 720 chem and 650 math, even if I have 3 good scores.</p>

<p>Most highly selective colleges want to see ALL scores from ALL dates, so they will see it regardless. Those that allow score choice are usually not ultra selective so for those, if you retake math, even if you send the low scores and the retake score, they will be good enough.</p>

<p>Do not, under any circumstances, retake US History.</p>
