SAT or SAT Subject Tests before early decision deadline

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm applying for a scholarship that lets me apply early to a couple of schools rather than just one. I noticed there's only one SAT/ SAT Subject test date before the early decision deadline- October 5th. So that means I can only take one or the other.
So far, I've gotten a 2210 on the SAT (690 R, 800 M, 720 M)
I've taken the US History SAT (690) and Math Level II (760)
The colleges strongly recommend the SAT Subject tests and require the SAT...
Should I retake the SAT and try aiming for at least a 2300, or should I take the Physics SAT instead, which I think I can get at least a 720?
(The colleges are the competitive types- Vanderbilt, Yale, etc.)</p>

<p>The other option is that I can take the ACT instead of the SAT. But the thing is, I think I can score higher on the SAT if I take it one more time. But I've been studying for the Physics too! And Physics is much more related to what I want to study than US History... </p>

<p>So what tests should I take?</p>

<p>Look, if the schools “strongly recommend” two subject tests, than you will be hobbling yourself by not submitting two subject tests.</p>

<p>Yes, your lack of advanced planning is now putting you at a disadvantage, but there’s nothing to be done about it. Retake the SAT in November, and, if you don’t get matched through Questbridge, submit that when you reapply to the schools through their regular admissions process.</p>
