I’m sure it’s fine. College Board/standardized tests aren’t very indicative of success in the classroom (or that’s what I think, anyway): I did really well in my physics class, and I really love the subject, but I got a much lower score on the Physics SAT II than my grade would indicate. Go figure.

In a nutshell, the SAT tests and your classes test different things. I’m sure colleges will look at whatever spotlights your abilities best.
