Waiting until Dec to take SAT for NMF

As far as the recommendation to take the SAT before December for NMF, does anyone know if taking it in December really would be an issue? I’m in an ACT region so I’ve never taken it, and I also need to take Subject Tests. I have a conflict so that I can’t test on the Oct date, and Princeton for SCEA wants Subject Tests by November. If December is my only option left for SAT, am I taking a huge risk by waiting until then, or is that “don’t wait until December” thing more of a guideline?

I don’t want to rearrange my college application schedule just because of this (and lose whatever slight boost SCEA might give me) but I certainly want to advance to Finalist. Has anyone heard in the past of people taking it in Dec and the scores not coming through in time?
