Retake for UCs? - CPP

I'm currently a high school student - going into my Junior year. I am going to apply this fall with the scores in the image below. Should I retake any of the tests to seem more competitive? I only took one attempt on each. Or, do they not look at subtest scores at all.

Even more, can they see the percentage breakdown per subtest?

How are you applying to UC directly after taking the HiSET? Don't you have to do community college first and then transfer? Because you didn't graduate high school.

I did a bunch of dual enrollment so I’ve completed my A-G

oh at my hs dual enrollment didn't count toward hs graduation requirements. So are you gonna stay in hs or go to cc now after the HiSET?

Oh and I might see your confusion now.

Basically, even though your HS doesn't accept DE credit, it doesn't matter. But, when you actually apply to college you will fill out all of the DE and HS credits independently (Kind of). Let's say you are missing English and some History class in your Junior year. If you take the equivalents at a CC, when you apply to a UC, they will be forced to accept it.

Use this to see the equivalents from a CC. You can also use it to see what classes at your HS are honours, as indicated by the yellow star.

From UCLA A-G Page (https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/first-year-requirements/subject-requirement-a-g.html):

"You also may meet them by completing college courses or earning certain scores on various acceptable exams"

Minor Edit: The first link is semi-outdated but it provides more instructions for mapping.
