<p>When SAT Subject Test scores are reported to colleges, are the subscores also sent? If so, what is their effect?</p>
<p>I recently took the Subject Test in Chinese with Listening and found that the scores page's "history of sent scores" section lists subscores. Although my cumulative score for the test was 800, I have a 73 on the listening section because I spaced out.</p>
<p>I think subscores are sent. This link describe subject test score reporting.

<p>Thank you for your quick response. Now, I'll just have to hope that the ugly 73 won't change things significantly; an 800 is an 800, after all.</p>
