I'm taking the SAT I test in August, but I've done four SAT practice tests so far (from the blue book) and I've been stuck at 1480/1490. I have an 800 US History and 730 Math 2, and I plan on applying to Harvard EA.
If I end up with a 1490 SAT score on the August date, that will be my only possible test date that can be used to apply to Harvard EA. I'm an international and my area doesn't offer any other test dates before Harvard EA's deadline (and for the August test date, I'm taking the test in the USA). However, there will be one test date before the RD deadline but after the EA deadline for me to retake the SAT, and I might be able to raise my score slightly (10 - 30 points) by then.
Therefore, I ask: would it be better for me to submit a 1490 SAT score in Harvard EA, or a 1500 - 1520 SAT score in Harvard RD? Assuming the rest of my application is competitive, and the SAT II scores (800 - USH, 730 - M2).
