<p>I'm Chinese-American. I have not taken the Chinese subject test yet but I will definitely get a full score because I am very fluent in Chinese. I will take Literature, Math2, Biology and Chinese for subject tests. I have not taken them yet but I am not very confident about the other 3 scores.<br>
I will major in Econ. I wanna submit my Chinese result but i fear the admission team will say they would have been more impressed(the average chinese score is 758, so it's expected to get 800)if I have submitted the other subject test result even though it is (estimated) 50 lower?</p>
<p>If you do well in Lit, Math 2 and Bi (700+s) then a good score in Chinese will complement those scores and not hurt you one bit. And if you send all 4 “good scores” I can’t see any pain.</p>
<p>While I agree that a good score on the Chinese test won’t hurt you a bit, the reason it won’t help isn’t because an 800 on the Chinese test is 57th percentile, and 750 on English Lit is 94th percentile. The part that fails to impress adcoms is applicants taking a test that demonstrates fluency in their native language. </p>
<p>I’d send them all, assuming you’re set on taking the Chinese test.</p>
<p>Don’t know if the below applies to you, but am bringing it to your attention: [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Applying: Requirements](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/requirements.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/requirements.html)</p>
<p>“Candidates whose first language is not English should ordinarily not use a Subject Test in their first language to meet the two Subject Tests requirement.”</p>
<p>I would say, considering he/she will likely send more than 2 subject tests, that his/her Chinese score will be a neutral factor.</p>
<p>It definitely won’t hurt if you submit along with a few others on which you scored exceptionally well, so you should.</p>
