Do colleges look at the highest SAT Subject Test score and, therefore, disregard the lowest?
Most college applications, including the common application, leave space for students to fill in all standardized test score results. Colleges that require two or three SAT subject tests will then consider the highest two or three, or those which are relevant to the school to which one is applying. For example for a student applying to Princeton’s school of engineering, math and science subject tests will be considered over others submitted. Other applications merely ask for the highest scores. However, schools that receive College Board score reports will receive all test scores for each student – not just those that are relevant or required.
