You don’t have to rush to do SAT 2; American does not, in fact, expect it.



AU requires official scores from the SAT I or the ACT (with writing) from freshman applicants who are attending high school in the United States or who have been home schooled.

Please note: international students are not required to submit the SAT I or ACT.
Students applying under the Test Optional Plan by December 1 are not required to submit test scores. See our Test Optional Plan page for complete details.

So, indeed, you want to take the SAT 1 first. When you register for the SAT 2, go ahead and have that score sent to AU also. When they receive it, they will match it up in the file with the rest of your application. No big deal. Admissions offices do that kind of thing all the time. And I think that even though it’ll come in after the ED deadline, it’ll probably be there long before any decision is actually made.
