Useful SAT Subject Test nitty-gritty

I mentioned to my son that he should register for another SAT, so he can get the SAT II Subject Tests needed for some colleges out of the way. There are two test dates remaining this year. He surprised me by being on top of it and informed me that the June 7 test date offers more subjects than the May 3 test date.

His information source is the registration form itself, and I can't figure out how to link to it.

This sounds like something to be aware of for testing this spring or in general for future tests.

Subject tests offered on the May 3 test date:

U.S. history, literature, chemistry, physics, French, Spanish, math level 1, math level 2 and biology.

On the June 7 test date, all those are offered plus the following:

World history, Latin, Modern Hebrew and German.
(OK, it's not a lot more. World history is the topic of interest in his case.)

Registration deadline for the May 3 SAT: Regular April 1, late April 10 (there's a late fee).
Registration deadline for the June 7 SAT: Regular May 6, late (with fee) May 15.

Can anyone tell me what the advantage of taking the SAT subject tests is? Do you have to have taken the SAT first? If you don't do well and take the test again will the new score replace the old?

Thanks for the info.
