Evaluate your own profile and check if the program, you are looking for really needs a subject test. If you have a stellar academic profile you may very well consider submitting your application without a subject test.
However, it is advisable, you should submit your SAT subject tests as well as Stanford is judged as the world's most selective university.
I hope it helps.
