| Angry mother screaming at all me for not using score choice. prove her wrong.
I'm applying to selective colleges- University of southern california, claremont mckenna, ucla,....
I got a 610 on the first sat II math 2c test.
I retook and got 730.
I sent all my scores in.
should i have used score choice? I really didn't think it mattered

Doesn't matter. They'll just look at the higher one anyway.

UCLA STILL requires the HS classes of 2010 and 2011 to submit SAT IIs.

My son attends a top new england bs with a top notch college counseling department. They said score choice is ridiculous and a waste of time....don't use it, just send in all your scores and the schools only care about the highest ones. Sorry, mom, with all due respect, you are in error.

That's a big difference in scores. Just remember, if you don't get in, mom was right.

According to my son's gc's, they really don't care and all they will use is the highest score and toss out the others. This is from a school where most of the kids get into some of the best schools in the country. In other words, they know what they are talking about.

Given you had the improvement on your second testing, I think it's great. If it were your fourth or fifth time, then the improvement would be easily discounted by your file readers. Congrats and best of luck to you.

What's the point of screaming? What's done is done!
That said, those schools will take your best scores...some will superscore. I hope you get in so you'll have the last word.  | |

Do they also take the highest SAT Subject Tests as well? If you took Math2 the first time and got 600 but then 800 the second time, do they ignore the first one?

I looked it up, and it seems that UC's require all the sat scores. I applied for 7 UC's. WHAT NOW, MOM?!
