Help out a confused junior

Hey CCers!
I recently took the SAT Reasoning Test (hoping for a 2300+) and am now signing up for the June SAT Subject tests. I already took the test in Word History and scored a 730 (86th percentile). This year, I am enrolled in AP Calculus, AP French, AP Literature, and AP US History. I am wondering which two SAT Subject Tests to sign up for out of: US History, Literature, and French. I am for sure taking Math 2 test.

I guess I have several questions: How similar are US History and Literature SAT tests to the AP Tests? How hard are they?

I am a very strong French student and have traveled to France in the past. I have also scored very high on the National French Exam. I am wondering, should I wait until November to take the French with Listening Test, or will the regular French one be enough? How do the colleges view the two tests?

I am planning to apply to a wide variety of schools possibly including: HYPS, Duke, Middlebury, Georgetown, Tufts, Bowdoin, UC Berkeley, U Michigan, U Virginia, U Washington Honors

The whole SAT2 process seems a little confusing, so I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!
