SAT Subject Tests?
I am currently a Junior in Highschool, and I haven't taken any SAT II's. Some of the schools I want to go to require that I take 2, but I know that in order to compete with others for spots in the school, I should take a few more than that, maybe 3 tests. Chem is coming up in exactly a week, and my practice scores have been sucky. I got a tutor, and im preparing like crazy right now and its taking up a lot of my time. Should I just focus on school work and just forget about this upcoming SAT II? What happens if I get a shitty grade on one of them, will it hurt me when Im applying to colleges, or will it just not have a purpose? I have exactly 6 test dates left until next november when I should have all my scores in. In that time, I need to take the SAT 2 or 3 times, and take 3 subject tests. Help?!!!!!!

Why don't you just change your test for next week to SAT I since that doesn't require any prep and then take the SAT IIs after winter break or spring break or something after you have had more time to review. I am a chem major and took SAT II Bio, Hist, and Math 2 instead since they seemed easier so you don't necessarily have to take the tests with your majors. And yes, a bad score would probably hurt you (maybe just a little bit though).
