subject tests SAT

I recently took the SAT II tests. I did really well on 2 of the test but got a horrible/dreadful score (580) on the 3rd one. I know that Collegeboard will send all score to colleges when the official reports are sent.

So, will colleges see this outlier and will it influence my admissions? Or are there any ways to make this a better situation?

Than you.

Isn't getting what you call a dreadful score still better than not taking the test at all? I wouldn't worry about this.

Well, either the school requires three tests and you can't do anything to improve the situation other than taking the test again; or they don't require three and you're a more attractive applicant than all the others who didn't take three.
