Alternatives to French subject test

I was planning on taking the French subject test in November; however, I thought I would be in AP French when I signed up for the test. Now, instead, I'm taking AP Computer Science. I feel fairly comfortable with my knowledge of the French language, but it fades fairly easily if I'm not enrolled in a course on it. I'm just worried I won't be very well prepped on it by November, and I don't feel like I can devote myself to studying French outside of school for two months while I have 6 AP classes and an extremely busy theatre program.

So I'm trying to figure out which subject test I should take as alternative. I'm already taking the Literature and Math lv 2 tests. That means I have Biology, US History, World History, Chemistry, and Physics to choose from. I will be about 1/3 of the way through my AP Biology course (my second course in Biology - I took an honors course for it freshmen year, but I don't remember a huge amount from it). I took AP US History sophomore year, and made a 3 on the test (didn't take it very seriously). I had Honors World History freshmen year, but my teacher was awful and I slept through the class and made a 97. Last year, I took Honors Chemistry, but once again, my teacher was awful and I slept through the class and made a 95. I've never taken an actual Physics class, unless you count an Honors Physical Science class sophomore year.

So what are your suggestions? Which tests require more solid backgrounds, and which can be aced in good week or two's worth of studying?
