when to take my SATs??

<p>hey guys I am a German Student living in Shanghai, China and I am planning to take the SATs this year, I've already signed up for SAT 1 in May, but everybody tells me the first time is going to be rough and i'll probably need to take the exam a second time in October or November - so thats my question, if I want to apply to colleges like UCLA etc. is it too late if I take SAT 1 again in October and then SAT 2 (subject tests) in November?? i heard application dates end in november at UCLA...</p>

<p>i really need advice from people who have experience thanks so much!!</p>
