Two options ; I'm a senior

Planning to take SAT IIs in October and again in December if I do horrid..

option # 1 :

oct - Math II physics
dec- physics again if necessary and US Hist.

option #2:
oct- physics
dec- IIC , physcs again, us hist.

i already took the IIC once and got a horrible score... [590]. i didnt study and now im studying for it, so i was wondering if it's okay to take the same subject 3 times in a row ? the reason why i keep listing physics is because i know i'll have to take it twice to get a decent score.


also. i'm taking the ACTs in dec [rush delivery for scores]

thanks in advance.

I would try to avoid taking three tests on the same day- personally I had a hard time with that stamina-wise. so, I vote option 1, too.

plus, that gives you a margin of error in case your math score is a fluke because your calculator died or something...

Do #1. Some colleges want a math and science SAT 2.
