Chose the test date carefully - make sure you don’t have any huge events which could interfere or stress you out too much with SAT on top. And keep some time for retakes. Even if you’re prepared, you can be too nervous and perform worse than you’d expect. Try taking several tests - one in fall of the junior year, one in the spring, and if it is necessary, you’ll be able to retake SAT in the summer or fall of senior year.
