Ah, I didn’t realize you’re expecting to pay registration out of pocket. My school paid for me. You might want to look into if yours will as well.

Also, remember that there’s still time to learn material between the open and the semi. There is no bias against someone who does kinda average on the open, then studys before the semi and does well there. There’s plenty of time if you take that in mind. Study the material that makes up a larger portion of the test (check out the IBO syllabus) and go in confident. And since you’re a junior, even if you don’t make it, at least you’ll know what to prepare for next year.

Good luck.
