No... but maybe your humanities skills are way beyond your math skills.

um....I got a 790 in chem, a 680 on math 1, and a 620 on USH



it really just depends on the subject (i'm a beast at chem, but I didn't take APUSH or study hence the low grade)

yea i have a disparity too, my grades are similar to kewlioto, except in different subjects
790 - US History
650 - Chem
570 - Math 2 :'(
i have a question though, if colleges ask for 2 subject tests and u take 3, will they look at your top 2 only? thanks

Yeeeeeeeeah, 800s on both Math II and US History, 670 on Spanish. Not that I'm complaining, but scoring 130 points lower in what's usually my best subject? Whoops.

while they will see all 3 on the score report, they will only take the top two into consideration
