Will Colleges Know?

<p>Will colleges know that you have taken a subject test more than once?
I know some colleges, those that require you to send all scores, have a way of finding out if you have taken the SAT I more than what you have submitted and therefore, they would know if you are "lying".
Can they find that out about the subject tests as well?</p>

<p>Colleges don’t have a ‘way’ of finding out if you don’t submit the scores to them. If a student uses Score Choice and submits only those scores that they choose, then that’s what the school gets. For privacy reasons it’s not like Yale can call up the College Board and say “Hey, did Jumper101 really submit ALL of their previous scores?”</p>

<p>I don’t know if you can use Score Choice on subject tests, but if you do it’s unlikely that your universities would see that you took it more than you report. However, since most universities consider the highest score that you get, it’s best to be honest and if a school does request all of your scores, just send them all.</p>

<p>Do I know of any way they could find out? No. </p>

<p>Does that mean that it’s worth jeopardizing your admissions by not submitting what is required? No.</p>

<p>Remove those quotes from lying, Jumper101. If a school asks for all your scores, and you omit some, it is lying. This would usually be called ‘lying by omission’ , if you wish to have a technical term. Schools may or may not be able to determine the truth, but I will suggest that honesty is actually a virtue worth exercising.</p>

<p>Is it going to impact a person’s admissions if they had a low score on one of their tests?</p>

<p>And nemom, I wasn’t planning on lying, or the technical term, lying by omission since I haven’t taken any tests yet. My friend took a subject test twice and she doesn’t know if she can only turn in the best score of the two…it didn’t specfiy she says.</p>

<p>requiring all scores is just a school looking to make it easier to decline you IMO(if super score is to one’s advantage, they are going to send it regardless).</p>

<p>I have heard that part of the reason that some schools want to see all the scores is to find out how many times you took the various tests. I don’t know if this is true or not, nor am I going to speculate on why.
I find it hard to imagine that a school would look badly, however, on a student who took a subject test twice and greatly improved.
I suspect that if you can’t specify which subject test score, then all are sent. My impression is that not many kids retake subject tests often so probably the CB isn’t expending effort on allowing choice there.</p>
