<p>I am a senior with a 730 US History from June and a 630 Lit from November. My low lit grade was due to several factors- I was very sick that day (kiss of death cold), my test got postponed because of Hurricane Sandy, the hurricane had me very distracted that week, and I honestly didn't prepare to the fullest extent. However, I don't want to inform the school of any excuse. My SAT is a 2240 (740CR, 700M, 800W). I am applying to some ivy league schools. I have a 97 GPA with a decent resume.
(I am a URM as well)
Is it worth it to retake Lit, take a different subject test, or let it be?
Thank you!</p>
<p>bumpppppppp?</p>
<p>you should if you have time! good luck</p>
<p>Only if you have the time. I doubt that it will break your application; however, strong essays will outweigh your Lit score.</p>
<p>idk. you can if u want but the lit test is known for its difficulty. and i think people take that into consideration</p>
<p>Depends what school you’re applying to. Some only consider subject tests for placement.</p>
