For colleges that do not require SAT II, will it hurt me if I earned low scores?

no one but the admission's office themselves will know that. I guess it's just a matter of what they think is important or not.

If I worked for admissions I would be put off my someone with a 500 score more than someone without a score at all.

So you're saying that for those colleges that do not require SAT II, your subject test scores, no matter how bad, could only help you right?

No you idiot. he means that a score of 500 would be worse than having no score at all, which means it would absolutely not help you

"If I worked for admissions I would be put off my someone with a 500 score more than someone without a score at all."

In response,

"So you're saying that for those colleges that do not require SAT II, your subject test scores, no matter how bad, could only help you right?"

How'd you interpret that?
