Take SAT II Chem or give up?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm applying to top 20 universities, and will be taking my subject test this Sat.</p>

<p>I've got French (560), Chinese (790) and Maths II (710) scores in hand already, and planning to retake Maths II to raise it around 780-800, and Chemistry.</p>

<p>However, I really suck at Chemistry, and had been doing preps and mock and unable to get my score to 700s. My best mock score is 680, normal range is about 600s. Given that I'm applying to such selective colleges, should I still take the Chem test this Sat or not? Some schools need 2 subject tests, and Chinese subject test wouldn't help cause I'm Chinese. Am I only left with the option of taking Chemistry? What if I end up really badly and I can't send my good Maths II score along...</p>

<p>Appreciate your help!</p>

<p>Can you take a biology or physics subject test? Take whichever you’re better at.</p>

<p>I only have Chemistry and honestly it’s too late to change the subject</p>

<p>Seems like you’re just gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. Also, one lackluster subject test score shouldn’t impact your chances of admission too much. (I hope this is the case because I got a 680 on Math II)</p>

<p>Take chem… it doesn’t get worse than 500 (for a language no less!)</p>

<p>Take chem… even though it might not help you… it definitely won’t hurt you unless you get worse than 600</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I did some Barrons and got my score up to just 700! Fingers crossed that I can maintain the score on test day, but thanks for the contribution :)</p>
