Stop please. You do NOT need to take any more tests. At this point, getting a few more points on the SAT will absolutely not make or break your application. No college is going to split hairs over 99.7 or 99.06. Not Cal Tech, Harvey Mudd, or Harvard. Your essay scores are fine. You have no disadvantage to speak of. I have never met a student who got higher than 18 on the SAT essay, and I am a test prep tutor for both tests. In your shoes, I would submit both tests, because your scores are equally strong and show that you are clearly intelligent and able to write competently.

Take your subject tests in August and be done with testing. Senior year is busy enough as it is. You need to take College Apps 101, and write a bunch of supplementary essays if you are applying to very selective schools. Cut yourself some slack, and do yourself a favor. No more SAT1.
