Should I cancel my SAT US History Score (comes out tomorrow)?

Applying to College
1

<p>I know I did poorly, but the only other subject test I've taken is math. I probably got around 700 but since I'm applying to Ivy's that score will be too low. What I'm worried is colleges will see the score and wonder how impressive my A's in APUSh really were.</p>

<p>My only concern is I possibly will not have another subject test to submit if I cancel. I'm going to self study Bio over the summer but IDK how that will turn out. I guess I could take Lit if I have to (I have a 790 CR, will I have to study much to get 750+?). </p>

<p>What do you suggest that I do and thanks for your advice.</p>

<p>From collegeboard’s website: "Select which scores you want to send to your score recipients</p>

<p>Score Choice gives you the option to choose which scores (by test date for the SAT and by individual test for SAT Subject Tests™) you send to colleges — in accordance with an institution’s stated score-use practice.</p>

<p>If you decide not to use Score Choice, all of your scores will be sent to your recipients. You should still feel comfortable sending all scores, since most colleges consider a student’s best score."</p>

<p>If you feel bad you did bad on the US history test then you don’t have to send that subject test to the school, and you can retake it in October and then send it. </p>

<p>@tola2015 Many schools do not honor score choice (they require all scores to be sent). To the OP, I wouldn’t cancel if I were you. A 700 (if that’s what you get) is not “horrible”. </p>

<p>As for Bio and Lit get review books </p>
