I recently got my Physics subject test score back, and it wasn’t what I’d hope it would be.
I got a 700 on the test, so now I’m wondering whether I should retake the test, simply not send the score, or send the existing score. I have a Math level 2 test (which I got a 770 on) as well. I’m aiming for most of the UCs: Berkeley, LA, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Davis. Does anyone know what I should do?
SAT I scores are far more important than Subject tests, but if you are competing for spots at UCB/UCLA, every score will count. If you think you can do better than a 700 on the Physics subject test, then give it a go. A 700 is still a solid score so nothing to be worried about.
Thank you for the reply!
I was also wondering if the percentile matters? I ranked at the 54th percentile with this test score.
Percentile matters but the subset of students taking subject tests is very strong
