<p>Take the regular SAT in March. </p>
<p>You don’t really need 3 SAT IIs, unless you want a better shot at getting a good score on 2 of them. If you are taking an AP now that has a corresponding subject test in May ike a Science (Bio, Chem or Physics B) or US History. then take the corresponding SAT II in May; compared to the AP, it will be a walk in the park. Then take 1 or at most 2 SAT IIs in June, especially if one of them is a foreign language that’s not offered in May. I think taking 3 in one day is too hard. Actually, I think that taking 2 in one day is suboptimal, but sometimes necessary. Ideally, just take one at a time and focus on it.</p>
<p>A week later take the ACT. There is really no downside unless you need the 3 hours to study for finals. If it’s worse than your SAT, you just don’t send it. But it gives you another shot at merit money. Then if your not satisfied that you have a high enough score to get merit money, take them both again in the Fall.</p>
<p>I think you should stay in the US, I disagree with some earlier posts.</p>
