<p>Which scores do colleges prefer:</p>

<p>A) 670 and 680</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>B) 750 and 610 (in weakest subject)</p>

2

<p>I think it depends which subjects… a 610 on math isn’t good while a 610 on a foreign language is acceptable…</p>

3

<p>Depends on the school you’re applying to & the subjects. Most schools want your highest subject tests. If you’re going into math or science, they often want at least one or two sciences & one math II & sometimes one social studies or English.</p>

<p>I’m majoring in either math or science. I got 750 in math and 610 in history with 4 on AP exam as well.</p>

5

<p>Since you’re majoring in math/science, the 750 looks better (even if you have a low score for history) than a 670/680.</p>

6

<p>Generally, if you’re interested in Math/Science, they want your math II score & at least 1 science score. They will see all of your scores anyway, since that’s how SAT sends them.</p>

<p>Most schools don’t seem too concerned & don’t get scores from your AP exams until after you’ve chosen which school you’re attending (unless you list them on your ap).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
