I'm a freshman in high school. My guidance counselor and parents (well, just because my parents listened to the guidance counselor) are very reluctant about me taking it. They say that if I do badly on this test (and the guidance counselor said that this is what happened to many students last year, aside from one). My semester average for Honors Biology is an A+, unweighted.

Now, my biology teacher seems to be a bit clueless as to whether or not this test is necessary. At the beginning of the year, she was practically recommending everyone to take it. But now, she just tells us to talk to our guidance counselor and that "colleges aren't really looking the SAT II's as much".

Should I just take the test now? I can always take the Chemistry SAT II next year, and the Biology SAT II at the end of senior year with AP Biology.

By the way, I want to try to become an emergency room doctor or a surgeon.

Thanks.
