Give yourself time to prepare for the SAT - there’s no expectation you’d take it in March unless it’s part of your school testing program (also, the March test may not be offered due to the pandemic). May or June junior year is often the best time to take it.
But, as I mentioned, lots of very good schools are test-optional.

A’s and B’s in honors core classes sophomore and junior year will really help show that you were going through growing pains as a freshman but have been learning and maturing since.

Look for a thread by Ubumble, whose son has a 2.58 GPA and is sweet and hardworking. The thread will give you a good idea of which colleges could be safeties for you. You’ll note he even got scholarships thanks to course rigor and good essays.
