Should I Report 700 Bio SAT II?

Hi. I am planning to study biology and currently have an A in AP Biology, but I’m torn as to if I should submit my 700 Biology SAT II to colleges. My other test scores are 800 Math 2, 730 Lit, 730 US History, 700 Chemistry, and 640 Spanish (yikes!). I’m definitely reporting the 800 Math 2 and 730 Lit. I wanted to report my Bio SAT II originally, but it came back lower than I expected, and I don’t know if it will hurt my chances at top universities (low Ivies, high non-Ivies). I could report my US History score since it’s higher, but it seems unnecessary given that I received a 5 on the APUSH exam. So, do you think it’s better to report the 700 Bio, 730 USH, something else, or just the 800 Math 2 and 730 Lit? I’m conflicted. Thank you!

Well, a 700 is fine. However, sending 6 Subject Tests is overkill IMO; “top universities” are looking for applicants to have more interests than spending their Saturdays taking standardized tests.

Sending the 800 and the 2 730’s are more than enough even if you are intending to major in biology. Colleges are going to take the highest scores anyway. Unless they specifically request a subject, no college is looking for you to use Subject Tests to show your academic diversity.

Oh, and give people a chance to answer before you bump. Few people are out here at 4 a.m. looking for questions to answer. :slight_smile:
