Hi. I am going to be a high school senior this year. So far, I've taken the PSAT (really bad), the SAT, the ACT, and the SAT II. My scores are:
SAT I a) 500V, 800M
ACT a) 26 composite
SAT II: 650 Chemistry, 800 Math IIC, 720 Physics
SAT I b) 540V, 720M
ACT b) 30 composite

I am definitely taking SAT II in October because I need to take the Writing test. I am going to shoot for schools like UC Berkeley and MIT, possibly others. My verbal SAT scores are low due to the fact that English is not my native language. However, I will be applying as a regular freshman undergrad applicant and NOT as an international student.
My English ACT score is 30 (96th percentile).

I am not good at social studies, so I am not taking any history or anything like that in October. Should I take Writing, Physics, and Chemistry? Should i try to improve my 720 score on the third subject?
Will it be any good if I get 700+ in biology, even though my highest SAT II elective score will probably be in physics?
I could also take writing, biology, and physics instead...
Then I think I should take the SAS I in November to improve my verbal score. After that, I still have the December date open... should I take the SAT II or SAT I in December? ... or neither? Or should I simply wait and see what I get on the writing test and, if it's not a good score, take it again in December? If so, should I take two more SAT IIs with it?

Or should I just forget about math and elective scores and just concentrate on the Writing test?

I am also going to take the ACT a couple of times in Oct and Nov.

So what do I do about my SATs?
