Do colleges consider that not all material is covered in time for SAT II?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I did SAT II Bio-M recently and got a decent but not stellar score of 710. </p>

<p>I do Biology HL in IB, but by the time I did the SAT II, we hadn’t covered any of Human physiology or Plant physiology. We also don’t do evolution as in-depth as the SAT does. </p>

<p>Do colleges take that into consideration if my counselor mentions it in her recommendation? </p>

<p>NB:
I’m applying to top colleges (i.e:HYPS, etc).
I’m an international student.</p>

<p>No, they don’t consider it. Choose your subject tests accordingly.</p>

<p>And please don’t ask your guidance counselor to explain a less than stellar test score . . . she should use the recommendation to focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses.</p>

<p>But 710 is fine. Don’t worry about it.</p>
