Hi Lauren! Yes, I think you should target subject tests in your areas of strength. It is important to study for these tests, because they are graded on a curve, and you will be competing against kids who are also strong in the subject. I also don’t think you want to send your scores unless they are very impressive, high 600’s or over 700–and that depends on which schools you are sending them to. If the college does not require the test, then be sure your scores are on par with those of accepted applicants. Do not send in lower scores just to show that you took the test. If it’s not required, then it needs to be a clear asset for you. Hope this helps!
