To take or not to take?

I’ll be taking the SAT IIs in May.

I’m definitely taking US History, because I’ll be taking the AP test a few days later [any suggestions for an SAT II prep book for that?]. I am extremely good at history.

Now I think that I might want to take Chem as well. I’m in Honors Chem this year [could not take Pre-AP due to scheduling conflict]. And the Chem teachers offer a review session… for the June test, 'cause even then there’s a bunch of stuff we still won’t have learned. So will I be able to self-study a lot of the more advanced topics covered in the test? I got a 660 in Bio last year [soph], and I was really hoping to have much better subject test scores. But I am in not going to be doing anything science related in college. So is Chem worth it?

I’ll probably take Spanish in November. But I’d like to take two in May. I was also contemplating Lit. But once I told my guidance counselor that I heard you don’t have to study for it, he seemed rather reluctant for me to take it. But I love English.

I really don’t know what to do. Any advice?
And prep book suggestions would be AWESOME.
