<p>If you decide to take the SAT, be sure to check to see if the colleges you are sending the test scores to also require SAT SUBJECT tests [ as is probably the case]. You CAN'T take the SAT and subject tests ON THE SAME DAY, so you would need to plan your testing schedule carefully. Also, taking the SAT in Oct [which is the earliest date available], and 2-3 subject test in Nov means the colleges won't have the results of all the required tests in time for EA/ED.</p>
