<p>Kelowna, if those are 7th grade scores, you may want to keep them on your son’s record.
There are instructions on the college board website. I think you have to do it in writing now.</p>
<p>8th grade.</p>
<p>Kelowa - Seconding what IloveLA said–if you want those scores to stay in his record, you need to notify the College Board in writing and they don’t give you much time to do it. I got about three different answers when I went through it. They deleted an 8th grade subject test score before my D even got the results! We got everything restored.</p>
<p>Well, Bu why would I keep the scores, if he has not really studied for this one?
Don’t you think his scores will be even better in 3 years?</p>
<p>Now, the subject test (will sit for Math II in June) , if he scores high, we will keep.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, it depends what you need them for. We needed my D’s scores in the interim to qualify for various programs. But if your S is going to keep taking the SAT every year anyway, that may not matter.</p>
<p>But I think we’re getting a bit off topic since this is a thread for parents of 2010 grads.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about keeping those scores. They can resurrect them if needed, but chances are very good that they’ll go up. He’s still got a bit of room for improvement there.</p>
<p>What do you guys think of “crookedness?” D is looking now like she’ll have scores in the range of 750CR, 750W and 650M. She plans to apply as a classics or possibly psychology major. How do you think this will look?</p>
<p>I think it looks pretty darn good. 650M is not a bad score by any means, especially as she’s considering a non-math major.</p>
<p>Oh yeah. That’s true Youdon’tsay. </p>
<p>That was a kind of obnoxious question, wasn’t it?</p>
<p>If she is above the mid-level in scores for her target schools in CR and W, but below in M, is that a deal-breaker?</p>
<p>Of course, she’s hundreds of points above in her number one school and isn’t planning to reach at all, so that may be a factor. </p>
<p>Why am I over-thinking this?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>because you are a concerned mother who wants the best for her child. Don’t worry, a 650 really is very good outside of CC land. If my D gets a 650 in CR, I’d be pleased as punch. There is no way on God’s green earth she is ever going to do any better. That’s why I am hoping for her Math score to pull her up. We will be perfectly fine with a lopsided score.</p>
<p>Congrats to all - those are some GREAT scores!!! </p>
<p>DD won’t be testing until later so my fingernail chewing has been delayed…</p>
<p>zoosermom, no it’s not a deal breaker. I’m sure it’s quite common - there are lots of lopsided scorers out there. Still we aren’t admissions officers - it’s always possible that at some college some admissions office will be weighing zoosergirl and some other candidate and they’ll reject your daughters based on the math score. It’s also equally possible (and I suspect more likely) that they’ll say - “ooooh someone who’s interested in classics, we have to take her! Who cares about her (still perfectly respectable) math score.”</p>
<p>S2 is lopsided, too. PSAT was 80CR, 65M, 73W. Plans to be an IR/history/polisci major. He did pull a 770 on Math Level II, so we know there’s math ability in there somewhere. (We took him out to dinner for that score, as it was 100 points higher than any of his practice tests. He swore there had to be a mistake.) </p>
<p>We are also in the March vigil. One and done would be REALLY nice.</p>
<p>Completely off topic, but I just realized that we are only slightly more than a 100 posts behind the 2009 thread. Does that mean we are more neurotic?</p>
<p>nope - just more vocal :)</p>
<p>Zooser, will your D take statistics in HS? For a psych or Classics major, that’s probably as much math as her major would require, and if she can demonstrate that level of comfort, my guess is that the 650 is fine. </p>
<p>S2 is taking AP Calc AB this year and AP Stat (in prep for IB math SL) next year. He knows the programs he wants will require 1-2 semesters of stat, so he figures getting some background before he gets to those courses in college will be helpful.</p>
<p>I was nodding my head at the “more neurotic” question but I like scualum’s answer much better. The next time my spouse and I have this conversation, I’m going to use it!</p>
<p>Spouse: Are you making another spread sheet with college information on it?</p>
<p>PMK: Yes, I am. But it’s okay because I’m just being vocal.</p>
<p>
She already took statistics at the community college. I can’t tell you how much she loved it. The problem with her and math is that she came out of a small, Catholic middle school that didn’t have any advanced math and so she’s behind chronologically where she should be. She’s naturally fine at it and did well enough to get into Stuyvesant, but she simply hasn’t had everything on the SAT yet.</p>
<p>Then she’s one smart cookie and will have some fine results to show for it! Between CC classes AND full diploma IB, no college worth its salt is going to hold a 650 M against her. She has PLENTY going for her!</p>
<p>Aw thanks CountingDown.</p>
<p>You’re such wonderful friends and I’m so glad we’re all doing this together.</p>
