Low scores on SAT II?

I’m a high school student about to go into my senior year this fall. Last fall I took two SAT subject tests, and I scored pretty low on both. 600 on chem, and 550 on math II. I was thinking about taking them again; I’m definitely going to take math II again, as that can be easily bumped up. Chem, however, is where I am hesitant. I haven’t really reviewed anything chemistry since my sophomore year, but a 600 is not quite high. Would such a score affect my college apps? I know some colleges don’t participate in score choice and I’m afraid a non-700 score would affect my chances of getting into more competitive colleges. I just recently took AP Physics 1 this (junior) year, and AP tests come out in a couple days, so I am not sure how I did. Should I attempt to cram Chemistry to take again in August, or should I attempt to take the Physics SAT subject test (for a science test instead of chem)? Or should I just stick to only math II, because I already taken an AP test in Physics?

I’m very conflicted, and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
