Due to my decision to apply to Oxford, I have to send in my UCAS application to my UK choices by October. While I meet all of Ox’s score requirements, I’m taking my SAT and SAT II Literature again in the hopes of getting slightly higher scores. These will be taken after the deadline.
My question is am I able to send those (ideally higher) scores after sending in my application, or must they be sent before or in conjunction with the UCAS?
Secondly, if I can’t send these scores afterwards to my UK schools, is it wiser to give up the lovely pipe dream of Oxford and send my presumably better scores to my “matches” (Edinburgh, King’s, etc.) at the January deadline?
My American early decision (Columbia) doesn’t require subject tests and has a November deadline so thankfully I can confine this issue to one side of the pond 
Thanks,

You have to list all the scores you have, and list all the exams you are scheduled to take with their ‘predicted’ marks. If what you submit (taken and predicted) you will get invited to interview; if you make it through the interview to get an offer it is likely to be conditional on your predicted marks; at the very end of the process you will be asked to provide formal confirmation of the scores.
You can submit UCAS in time for the October deadline and add unis later, but if you already know that you are going to apply to those unis there’s really no point in waiting.
Is there a place on the UCAS form I can send my scores, or do I send them directly from the College Board?
You self-report the scores you have on the UCAS form; when it’s time to send the official scores you send them directly from College Board (Oxford’s code is 6706)
What section of the UCAS form are you able to do that on?
Under Education, choose add qualification, and select SAT, AP, or whatever.
