When to take Math II test?

I'm in precalc right now, and idk if I should take the math II test this year after precalc or next year after calc? does it even matter? b/c I want to be fully prepared for the test, but I don't want to forget anything. Also, when are you supposed to start studying for the SAT II? usually in may after AP exams? HELP! I'm clueless

Take it this year in Precalc (June). If you take it next year during Calc, you'll learn some new ways of solving things, when there are easier ways in Precalc. And you should start studying now if you want to take it in June.

Precalc is nearly perfectly aligned with the content on the Math II test. I took it in December while taking Precalc and I did fine, so you should be able to get a good score taking it in June.

In our HS, math track juniors generally finish all geometry and trig by the end of first semester of junior year, and it is strongly suggested that they take the SAT II Math II on the January test date while it is fresh in their minds. This seems to work.
