Test Optional

<p>Hey CC,</p>

<p>So for a few of the schools I am applying too, they give the option of choosing your SAT I or two SAT II's to be considered. My scores are:</p>

<p>SAT I:
Reading 800
Writing 800
Math 750</p>

<p>SAT II:
Chem 800
Bio 800
Math II 800</p>

<p>I know this is a pretty annoying and inane question, but which one should I select to be considered? My reasoning is that my scores are better on SAT II's but higher scores seem to be more common on SAT II's. Of course I know it will make a very small difference which one I choose, but I figure every little bit counts.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Universal PB</p>

<p>You’re right - it is inane. I would use the SAT I for the reasons you mention.</p>

<p>I would advocate choosing subject tests because they show more knowledge and many schools think they’re a more accurate indicator of how you’ll do in college. But luckily you’ve done so well on both that sending either score(s) will help you a lot, so I would just choose one rather arbitrarily and not worry about it :)</p>

<p>Why not both?</p>

<p>They only consider one, you choose on the supplement.</p>
