Should I cancel? Math II, if so, how?

I previously took the Math II and got a 690 with 8 omits and who knows how many wrong.

I retook that test this morning and due to the laws of Murphy, I omitted 14.

I'm really thinking of cancelling my score because I'm going to retake it in December. I just don't want my score coming back lower than it was before.

Should I? Is omitting 14 def going to make my score lower than a 690?

I also took Chem last time with a 620 and Spanish with 540 (I'm not a native but I'm in AP spanish, I know my score is horrible -___-"). I'll retake these in December. I didn't think I could muster through the Spanish listening. xD Is this okay with colleges?

You should try to make a guess on every question if you can eliminate even one answer.

What colleges are you applying to? Do they require SAT IIs?

I'm apply to Boston University and it requires Chem, Math II and a foreign language. Should I cancel? is 14 omitted already guarantees me a score under 690?

No..if you omitted 14 with 0 wrong (all the others were right), you would have a low 700 - about 720-40.

Oooh.. so I shouldn't cancel? hmm.. but im not at all sure if I got the others right... but either way im def retaking. How does it look it if I did good, did worse and finally(hopefully) did amazing on the last subject test.. how does that look for colleges?

Here's how you can cancel if you choose to:

I took the Math II test today as well, and I also skipped 14 :/
I dont want to cancel my scores though because I know I did great on the biology test. I just want to reassure myself that I can still get a good score on the math. I'm pretty sure I did well on the 36 I actually answered.

Alrighty.. i won't cancel.. But does that mean I need to send this scores to colleges like Upenn who say they want to know the entire testing history? because i already sent a score report with sat i and sat ii.. and i don't want to pay over $40 bucks to send out a score I may not want to send out. -___-"
