Should I take the SAT at this point in time?

I’m a junior in high school right now and I just decided to look at some East Cost schools. But, most of the east coast schools at least 1 SAT Subject Test. The problem is that I don’t have very much time to prepare. To be completely honest I’m not the brightest kid around the block so low preparation is going to hurt me a lot.
The big question is if I should but money to take the SAT subject tests, or should I just give up on the east coast schools?

Ummm can you name some of these schools? Most schools don’t require SAT subject tests. Some recommend them and only the tippy top schools require them.

You need to do a little research.

It depends on a lot of things. You say you are not that bright. SO, if you don’t have a stellar GPA and resume, why are you even bothering with East coast. You don’t say where you are from, $ you have for school etc. IF you like LOTS of snow, and you have the money, then take a subject test based on ab AP class you took. They usually want 2 subject tests though, and one should be a math.
