[University of California - The examination requirement](http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/requirements/examination-requirement/index.html) says:



University of California:

In the College Board’s Score Choice module, ensure that all scores are sent to UC. We require all scores and will use the highest scores from a single administration.

For the ACT With Writing test, we will focus on the highest combined score from the same test administration.

For the SAT Reasoning Test, we will focus on the highest total score from a single test date.



Basically, if you are satisfied with your highest test score (not super score), then you do not need to take any of the tests again for UC purposes.

However, according to [University of California - Freshman admission profiles](http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/profiles/index.html) , your scores are below average of admitted freshmen for 2011 at every UC.
