Hi I’m a senior right now.
I think one has to look at the school’s past record to order to judge whether taking a test is fine or not. Also, one should just test oneself with prep books, qs, etc and feel if he/she is confident enough to take it.

I took one SAT II freshman year: 800 on Biology (M), 3 soph year 800 World History, 770 Chem, 580 (hehehe) on Latin <–this was stupid, I know I wasn’t well prepared at all.
Junior year 770 US hist, 790 Math IIC (one should take this 2-3 dates from the time that college apps are due, as late as possible!), 770 writing, 720 lit

Most of them, with the exception of IIC and Writing, I took immediately after I fdinished the course in the June SAT testing. However, I was lucky enough to have good teachers and confidence.
