Odd World vs. US History Situation

My situation goes like this:
My freshman year, I took the World History subject test without any extra studying (I took it as a relatively easy honors class) or practice tests. I completely bombed it with a 600.
However, now I am a lot more focused and have a much better sense of how to study for things.

I am torn between taking the world history subject test again or taking the US History test. Right now, I am taking the AP US History course and doing very well. However, my dream school Columbia does not take score choice it seems. Thus, should I:
A. Take the World History subject test again
B. Take US History subject test
C. Take both?

If you are sure you can score 750+ on World History,then go for it .It is pointless to take US History.Its like taking Math I and Math II at the same time.

Theoretically, would Columbia adversely view my 600 in World History if I scored 780+ on the US History subject test?

Well,maybe if you take the US history in addition to another SUbject test (like Math) ,you can always use the score choice policy and show them the tests you want
