Will I be penalized for original bad score on Math II?

<p>I took the math 2 for the first time in May completely on the fly (decided while in the test room after taking US…) and did pretty miserably (660). I studied and took the June one, and brought that up to a 790, which I’m definitely happy with. Most of the schools I’m applying to require all scores. Will that 660 come back to haunt me?</p>

<p>Your conscience will penalize you for the score, as is evidenced by this thread.</p>

<p>^lol
Seriously, most schools only consider the highest scores. You got a 790. You’ll be fine.</p>

<p>There is a nifty invention called “Score Check,” with which you may select your best scores to send to all colleges. I am aware that University of Pennsylvania does not participate in this, however.</p>

<p>^You mean Score Choice? o.O</p>

<p>@Ambivalent, ■■■■■, so true…</p>

<p>and yea, my top choices (Columbia and Penn) don’t take score choice.
thanks @Spatula. That takes the stress off from that.</p>

<p>What’s bluebook?</p>

<p>^ The Blue Book is the College Board’s book of released official SAT II exams (at least that’s what I understood the OP to be discussing).</p>
