<p>As a STEM major looking at some fairly competitive schools, would these subject test scores be worth submitting if they are not required? </p>
<p>700 Math I, 680 US History, 670 Chemistry</p>
<p>Also, would it be worth taking Math II in the fall?</p>
<p>It’s much easier to get an 800 on Math II than on Math I, so shoot for an 800 (or high-700s) in at least one Subject Test.</p>
<p>Define “fairly competitive.” For ivies (and baby ivies), I wouldn’t (if you have an ACT that suffices), except maybe the Math I. For most lesser schools, yes.</p>
<p>I’d say check out:</p>
<p><a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
<p>Use that to judge. Might want to compare it to your SAT score percentile.</p>
<p>You usually take the subject test to prove you have particular knowledge or ability in a subject area, so submitting a score where you’re only in the 57th percentile (like your 670 on chem) isn’t exactly helpful.</p>
<p>Math II is MUCH more common for STEM majors. For a STEM major, I wouldn’t even recommend taking Math I, much less submitting it, as the subject material it covers is lower-level and it suggests that you weren’t comfortable with/avoided Math II.</p>
