Since a 34 is in the top 1% already, I don't think there is a good reason for you to take the SAT. Instead, work on improving your scores on the three ACT sections other than English. Incidentally, some colleges accept the ACT plus Writing as the equivalent of the SAT plus two subject tests.
If you decided to try the SAT, you should try any of the tests 5 through 8 since they are tests that were administered. They are free to print from the College Board. You should also do about the same prep you did for the ACT and take the practice test in a setting comparable to the ACT setting, perhaps a quiet library.

The amount of improvement varies widely, depending on starting rate and comprehension. If a person is unable to finish the reading sections of standardized tests in the alloted time, the amount of improvement would vary with what proportion of the section was rushed and/or incomplete. If a person is also unable to complete other verbal sections and/or science sections on time, the score would improve still more.
When I work with students on test prep, I recommend speed-reading, for all slow or average readers, prior to test prep.Typical speed-reading results for slow or average readers are a tripling of rate with equivalent or better comprehension.
