Bad SAT 2 score question

Test Preparation
1

<p>Even though I’m a junior now and I’ll be applying to all the UCs next year, this has been haunting me for a while now. </p>

<p>In November, I took both the USH and Lit subject tests in one sitting and I did pretty well on the USH, not so much for Lit. The thing is, I got extremely sick the previous day and I took the tests while sick. I practically spent all my energy on the USH half and almost passed out for the Lit test. I knew I wasn’t going to cancel because my USH was near perfect, but the Lit was abysmal. It was around a low 500 I believe. I practically took that test half-conscious and was light-headed the entire time. </p>

<p>Now, how will the UCs view that? Is there any way that I can tell them that it was a fluke, and that I should’ve done better? I know I can retake Lit later on since UCs only look at the higher score, but I’m still on the edge on whether or not this will actually affect me negatively. </p>

<p>Help, anyone?</p>

<p>just a note: there’s no need to bump a thread unless it has reached the 2nd page</p>

<p>To answer your question: I’m a senior this year and I didn’t apply to any UCs, so I’m not familiar with their score system. </p>

<p>If the school allows Score Choice, you can send ONLY your USH score and not your Lit score because Score Choice is BY SINGLE SUBJECT TEST, not by test date. </p>

<p>If your school does NOT allow Score Choice, you must send in all scores. In this case, I would definitely re-take Lit at a future time. This way, a score increase could make up for the low 500.</p>
