which is worse? really bad score or no score?

<p>i am taking chemistry this week and i am pretty positive that i will not do well
more than that
i probably will fail it totally
so, should i still take it?
i am applying to johns hopkins, notre dame, emory, and vanderbilt
they do not "reqire" any subject testd but "recommend" that you submit
in this case, should i send a really low score, or just nothing?
i have a math2c with fair score
what should i do???</p>

<p>don’t send anything if they don’t require it. if you have math 2 that should be enough. do you have time to take another test?</p>

<p>errr…not really
thank you very much for your answer :)</p>

<p>Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.</p>

<p>My advice as a mom who has done a lot of research: Do your best, take the test, determine the percentile of your score once you receive it, post it on CC if you’d like, and then decide whether to send it. </p>

<p>I would not recommend using your four free score reports, but would wait until the score was available to make the decision.</p>

<p>thank you for your answer
very helpful :slight_smile:
so…i think i should wait and see what happens</p>
