Which Subject Tests to Send

Applying to College
1

Hello,

So here are my subject test scores:
US History - 800 (May of Junior Year)
Math 2 - 770 (June of Junior Year)
Physics - 760 (June of Junior Year)
Bio M - 720 (June of Soph Year)
Literature - 680 (June of Soph Year)

My question is: for schools that allow score choice w/ subject tests and that only ask for 2, should I just send in my top 2 scores? Or should I send the top 3? I was in a higher percentile for Physics even though the score was 10 points lower than my math score. I also already have a 5 on AP Physics 1 though, so should I not send Physics? Should I not send Math 2? Help please!

Top 2 or top 3. Your call. At the end of the day, sending the 3rd won’t make your application appear any stronger.

I am of the opinion that AO’s are not cross-referencing percentile charts, but are focusing on the score. Others may feel differently. But really, there is just no statistical difference IMO between a 760 and a 770. The 10 point difference would not turn a reject into an accept.
