Hi, I’m a senior from a small public school in Canada.
All the schools I’m going for require two SAT subject tests, except for Harvard.

I’m going for biology at:
Princeton
Brown
Harvard
Yale
Johns Hopkins
Cornell

I took these in Nov:
SAT MATH II: 800
SAT CHEM: 800
SAT BIO M: 750 (82nd percentile)
Additional Info: 5 on both AP biology and Chemistry

Do I need to retake SAT BIO in Jan?

I didn’t get to review for bio because I was so busy in Oct/Nov. I completely forgot some things from AP Bio last year even though I got a five.

I will definitely get 800 if I retake it. Is it worth the time/money? If I retake, will colleges interpret this as caring TOO much about scores?

Also, I could probably take Physics and get 800 or Literature and get 750-800.
Should I take them? Do colleges consider extra SAT subject tests?

Thanks
