Taking SAT subject tests in October?

<p>I know it is advisable to take the SAT subject tests in June immediately after the course but my daughter may have to take them in October due to some health issues. Has anyone done this and feel it impacted their performance? Any advice on staying fresh on the subjects months after the course has ended? Thank you.</p>

<p>I took mine in December and feel like it definitely affected my performance, especially in Chem. October wouldn’t have been much better, I think</p>

<p>It is probably too late now, but the best time to take the subject test for Chemistry is in the beginning of May because you’ll be studying for the AP Chem test (which is only a few days after the subject test). This way you will be fully prepared to take the test. There is no point waiting for the June test date because you basically cover everything in AP Chem by mid April.</p>
