ACT With 2 Subject Tests?

Hello everyone, I could use some suggestions as to what test I should retake in October (a month before the deadlines for ED, probably going for UPenn). So, here’s the low down. In May, I took Math II and US History. Wish I prepared more, but with APs I didn’t put much effort in and got a 710 in Math II and 750 US. I feel like I could definitely improve on math II with a bit of preparation. I also have an 800 in Chem and a 700 in Bio.

The SAT I is definitely not my strong point in any way. Can barely break 2000, and on my June test I got a 2030, meh. But, I guess something just clicked with the ACT, since I received a 35. People tell me I’m set, but I guess it just feels strange because I never thought I would actually use the ACT as my standardized test.

Now, my question is, in general, do most schools substitute the SAT I + IIs for the ACT, or just the SAT I for the ACT? If the former is true, should I even bother redoing anything?
