<p>if you haven’t taken your SATs yet, you’ve fallen into the trap I have of applying late… you cannot take the SAT I and SAT IIs on the same date, which means you will only really have the October and November dates to prove yourself. Whichever one you do worst on, you could re-take it in December. Remember that US students have been drilled heavily for these exams and that they have many attempts; if you only have one, make it count.</p>
