Last year, I would have said not to worry about the math too much. Yes, bring it up a bit, but not to worry, because many schools know that some kids do better in liberal arts, and not in math, and vice-versa. A 600 is respectable. However, considering that this year, Amherst is overenrolled, it will be even harder next year, so by all means, get that math score way up there! And focus on your passions in your EC’s. Since there are no interviews, you will need to really work on those essays - that is where you distinguish yourself from all the other terrific applicants, and where you let them know who you are. good luck! No one can tell you for sure if you will be accepted, just if your stats are in line.
