Retake SAT or take additional (extra) Subject Tests?

If the school only requires two subject tests then don’t take another. You already have two 800’s which is GREAT! And so is your SAT score! Good for you!

Since you are an international student, I assume that you took the TOEFL? If you got a good score on that too then I don’t see why you need to take the SAT again. But if you really want to or feel that it will significantly help your application then go ahead. You don’t want to have any regrets after the application process. On the other hand, if you did not score well on the TOEFL then definitely take the SAT again. It will improve your chances and show a command of the english language.

One last thing, that may or may not apply. If your essay is what is lowering your writing score then taking the SAT again might be good considering you are an international student. Again though if your TOEFL score was good I would not worry about it.

Good luck!
