Scores of sat subject tests

I know UC's look at the top two sat subject test scores, but what about privates? Do they only consider your highest scores? I took the Lit subject test twice and actually did slightly worse on the retake, is this going to be an issue?

Thanks

If a school requires 2 Subject tests, they will consider the highest 2.

do privates still only consider the top scores if subject tests are optional?

Yes, if they only require two, your math 650 will be ignored.
