Should I still take this test??

Test Preparation

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>So I have previously taken the SAT subject tests in math II and Chemistry, right after I tookboth of the ap tests for those subjects last year. I'm taking both of them over again this saturday, to try to improve my score on both..</p>

<p>On the math II test, I'll likely get an excellent score. I've improved in math and my current class is really helping me with the test.</p>

<p>On the chemistry test.. I'll likely get a worse score by at LEAST 100 points, if I'm lucky! I've forgotten everthing about chemistry and I did TERRIBLE on the diagnostic test I took the other day. I have studied relentlessly (mostly this week unfortunately!!) but I don't think it'll be enough :(
In fact, I am SURE that I will not be proud of my chemistry score.</p>

<p>SO: should I cancel the chemistry test? Should I just not take it? I wouldn't mind the score, EXCEPT for this reason.. These will be my final SAT scores that I will be sending to my top school picks, e.g. Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. The transcript will include my old SAT subject test scores and both of my SAT reasoning test scores, in addition to my latest SAT subject test score.</p>

<p>What should I do?! Will school like MIT look down on the fact that I took the test twice, and on the second time I got a worse score on the chemistry test? Or would they neglect the score if it is worse and simply see the first chemistry score?</p>

<p>THANK YOU all so much for helping me with this!

<p>Sorry that post is too long… Could someone please at least give an opinion?</p>

<p>TL;DR:
I’m gonna fail a subject test and already have a pretty good score on it when I last took it. will colleges look down on me for my latest score. How do I cancel the test.</p>

<p>I believe there is an option to opt out of a test the day of and cancel your score.</p>

<p>I’m confused when you say that your transcript will include all the scores. Don’t you have a choice about what test scores you can send? Or do the Ivies insist on seeing the results of every single test you take? If that’s the case, and you are sure you’re gonna bomb it…don’t take it.</p>

<p>Yeah, they strongly recommend that you send all of your test scores.</p>

<p>Not taking a test you signed up for works? That would be a blessing lol</p>

<p>Hi xaphenx, you don’t have to take the chemistry test tomorrow! I registered for 3 sat2s in June, showed up and only took two. Nothing happened. Tomorrow I’ll be with you taking math 2 that I opted out of 5 months ago.</p>
