Good student & high GPA/Not a good test taker & low scores on SAT & ACT

My GPA is 3.8 & I am in the top 10% of my class at a large very good public school. I have sports, leadership and volunteer work to include in my applications. My SAT score is 1590 and I have taken it twice. My ACT result (writing scores not rc'd yet) was 22. Obviously, standardized testing is not my strong point. Should I apply to my state university for early acceptance now or plan for tutoring and retake the ACT again? I've been told that applying now greatly increases your chances of acceptance.

Early acceptance isn't binding. Early decision is binding. If it's not binding, you can do both. Good luck.
