My general advice is to take the subject tests in June while the course material is fresh in your mind. I can’t tell from your post whether you are taking Chem now. If so, you should definitely take the subject test now so you don’t have to brush up on Chem in the fall while you are dealing with senior year courses and college applications. From your math score on SAT 1, it sounds like you are a strong math student so SAT 2 should be okay with some practice. Over the summer, I would work on vocab and grammar to boost your CR and Writing scores. For vocab, my daughter used a combination of Direct Hits, Princeton Review and another book. And do practice tests. 10 full length practice tests if possible. For writing, try to come up with 2 to 5 stock subjects that you can write about in response to most essay prompts. For grammar, people seem to swear by Ericka Meltzer.
