With some colleges require SAT or ACT, if you took both, should you report both score on the common app? Also, most
schools only require taking two subject tests and if you took three and one of them was just trying out and you don’t do as well on one of them, can you not report the 3rd one? Does colleges that want all your scores know if you don’t report all your scores? My kid got 800 math level 2 and 730 on Chemistry and only 660 in Biology subject tests, if she report all three, will it hurt her chance since biology is very low?
You look at what the colleges ask for, on their web pages.
If they ask for two, she should be fine not reporting bio. Some colleges ask for one humanities, one stem. Some ask for all tests. You’ve got to be versed in what those targets say, not us. And the rest of what they look for.
Few stem kids take a subject test in stem, just for “trying out.”
Agree, look at the instructions on the admissions web page of each college your child applies to. The majority of colleges allow applicants to pick and choose which tests to send but a few do require all testing.
The only US college that requires all Subject Tests is Georgetown, which “recommends” 3 anyway. For all the rest, it’s fine not to send bio.
Some colleges will requires all testing of both ACT and SAT. Some just require all testing of one or the other. Most allow you to pick and choose. As mentioned above, check with the individual colleges.
For those colleges that don’t require both, you can send both if you want. It won’t hurt, and if the scores are equivalent, may be a slight help.
