Cal Poly and other CSUs do not use SAT subject tests to determine admission. The UCs that recommend subject tests recommend math 2 and a science for engineering, and that science needs to be physics, chemistry or biology. Though subject tests are not required by the UCs, submitting two good scores could definitely help. The issue is whether you can take the tests and get decent scores. Chemistry does not appear to be an option becuase you are just now taking it. Physics would likely be your option. The issue you have is that the test is only a few weeks away and without real preparation you might not do well particularly for physics for which you would need to refresh your memory. But only you can decide whether you can get prepped to take the tests.
