How much do SAT Subject Test scores play a role in admissions

[Fiz]

Hello,

I recent issue I've had that in my past SAT2 Exam i came to the test unprepared, i only did Math2 and physics. I found Math 2 easy as it was very similar to our IB Math HL syllabus but i have found physics very different.

I think i did fairly well on the math but not so much on the physics, so my question is:

Does having bad SAT2 scores rule out the chance of being admitted to prestigious universities even though i have strong SAT reasoning scores and a high IB predicted?

1. You can take the Physics test again. You will probably improve.

2. Take another SAT2 test, most universities only require 2, so they will look at your top 2 scores.

3. Nothing ever "rules out" the chance of being admitted - adcom will look at your application holistically.
