[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he's a junior and wants to retake, I'd let him.  If money's an issue, investigate fee waivers.  Most schools require 2 SAT IIs and College Board lets you take 3 at a sitting, so there's no scheduling conflict wrt other subject tests.  Math II won't involve study so much as a bit of practice.  And if he hasn't already taken (or plans to retake) the regular SAT, this kind of practice that is likely to have positive spillover effects.

Conversely, if the kid didn't want to retake, I wouldn't push him.  I agree that those 50 points are unlikely to be a dealbreaker.  But college admissions is a process where kids don't feel they have a lot of control and where many fear, initially (at least), that they are likely to be judged and found wanting.  So in a situation where the kid feels there's low-hanging fruit, it's less stressful to let him harvest it than to insist that other things are more important -- especially at a time when essays and such aren't due soon.[/quote]

Absent an of the DC to dive into a Chemical engineer major etc. SAT Subject Math II score as you have noted is in no way going to be deal breaker/maker in the admissions process.  DC will need to have a lot of other pluses for that type of major (if that's DC's intent and if its not then the score is fine).  Avoid the stress of a retake. [/quote]
