Bio vs Physics advice

So, I'm signed up for the Physics subject test. I took honors physics last year which was a joke class. I was one of the best students in the class, as well as the top student in my eighth grade class.

I just took a practice test and got a 490.

I'm going to take SAT Biology E instead since we already did the ecology sections in AP Biology. Do you think by basically taking the SAT subject test cold I could still get over 650?


Question is: I am taking a legit (EPGY, Stanford) AP Physics C course this year. Even though I won't be taking the subject test after I finish the course, would I be prepared to take it, or would i need to know different information for the subject test? The reason I'm asking is because I don't feel prepared for college in physics..

I took physics B (Physics Biology), they call it physics biology because this is the physics you have to take when you go to college and ur a bio major, which prepares you for sat2 both test your knowledge of general physics, but physics C ( Calculus) will not since they only teach 2 subject which uses Calculus, elctro and mech, my school does both at same time, but some does only one.
