Prep for Math II and SAT Math at the same time?

@alwaysawriter thank you for your answer! In response to your questions:
Currently I’m in AP Bio, AP Language, and Pre Calc
English, Bio, and Math are probably my 3 most favorite subjects in high school
English is not my 2nd language so obviously I haven’t been exposed to it my whole life, but I do have a strong foundation in English. I have a good knowledge of vocab and especially grammar. I’m better at prose than poetry, which puts me at an extreme disadvantage because from what I heard, poems show up a lot on the SAT Lit. I love reading but what I’ve read may not help me much. Just to give you an idea, I’ve read Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games (yeah I know) and books for school such as Lord of the Flies, To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Catcher in the Rye, Huck Finn, all those American classics. I have very little exposure to English Literature…Right now I’m reading Les Miserables and loving it so far, except that I don’t have time to read it a lot due to homework and SAT prep
My AP Bio class is such a joke because the teacher doesn’t teach anything and we have to learn on our own. I’m the most motivated student in the class because I actually read the book and take notes, although I despise the way my text book, Campbell is organized. I think Bio is a very interesting subject and I’m pretty strong in it, but I feel like I only understand the overall concepts and not really all the details. Does the SAT Bio test really in-depth knowledge? I chose to take the SAT Bio test in May because it coincides with my AP Bio exam, which means I can study for both at the same time. Will I be fine just reading my Princeton Review for AP Bio, or should I buy a book written exclusively for the SAT Bio?
Pre Calc ought to be my favorite class this year because I enjoy Math and its clarity. I don’t consider myself a naturally smart person though. I work hard to get an A+ in that class…by the time I take the test in May, I will still have a month left of Pre Calc because school ends in June…will that one month of material show up on the test? I can’t really take it in June because that’s when my regular SAT is…Also alot of people on here say that it’s easy to score high on Math II, that’s why I was so optimistic. But now, not any more…
