Test Scores

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Three quick questions about test scores in the common app:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Do you have to report the same test scores for all schools? For example, some schools require the physics subject test, can you report that score to only UPenn and not others?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it better to show more subject tests or higher scores? I have an 800 in math and chem, and a 780 in history and 760 in physics. Is it worth reporting all 4 scores (or three scores) even though they're lower or is it better just to stick to the two 800s. Btw I'm applying as a CS/Business major to the top schools. </p></li>
<li><p>Am I required to report the SAT I took in 9th grade for CTY (but is apparently still on my records)?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you in advance for your help!!</p>

<p>You don’t actually have to self-report scores on the common app. The official score reports are sent to each school separately</p>

<p>760 is not a “low” score. You’re better off reporting it, imo.</p>

<p>For schools that require you to report all scores, yes. You don’t have to self-report on the app, you can just send them the official reports. And no, they won’t penalize you for you test scores in 9th grade. I took the SAT my first time freshman year as well, and it wasn’t that pretty.</p>
