Timeframes for Sending SAT II Scores

Are the time frames for these the same?:

  1. Taking November SAT II, waiting until the scores come out (about 19 days afterwards, so on November 26), then sending scores to ED/EA colleges
  2. Taking November SAT II and choosing to send to the ED/EA colleges before even taking the test

The CollegeBoard sends scores after they’re available anyways, so will these take the same amount of time or should I specify the colleges beforehand? What worries me is that I don’t know if I will be able to do well enough on the November SAT II…

Thank you!

Also, what if I just sent all of my test scores after having taken the November test? All my scores would arrive in late November, but if they’re going to consider them as part of my application anyway… It’s not preferable but would save a lot of money!
