What's up with the SAT II?

<p>Harvard only requires 2 now but if I take 3 tests then will one with the lowest score be discarded?</p>

<p>Harvard will consider additional tests if you send more. I doubt, however, that the additional considerations would be used for anything except the applicant’s benefit.</p>

<p>They consider them, but they only pay the most attention to your highest 2 scores. It’s like superscoring with the subject tests.</p>

<p>lucky for me since I bombed the world history sat subject test my sophomore year</p>

<p>I’m only applying with 2</p>

<p>belly, </p>

<p>Why don’t you simply not send the bad World History score?</p>

<p>Does it help your case to do 3 subject tests, instead of the 2 they require (say for example, if you got high scores on all of them - or will they only consider the top 2 subject tests you send in)?</p>

<p>^ As I indicated in post #2, additional good scores work in your favor.</p>

<p>because Im applying to other universities, not just Harvard and some dont have score choice</p>

<p>Indeed my previous question was to you, so I’m glad you an answered it :)</p>

<p>I have a host of diverse subjects at A-level (our equivalent to the US AP’s) and was thus wondering if there is any advantage in doing 3 SAT subjects as opposed to the 2 recommended. I’ve looked on the Harvard website and it just says 2 are required (and not crucially that any more subject tests will be considered in your favour).</p>

<p>Just wondering how much of an advantage 3 subject tests will give, as there is no point if its negligible :S</p>
