Should I reschedule

Honestly I'd say (depending on your background) if you started studying now, you will probably barely have enough time.
What material are you using? How many days have you put into it?

I have been studying since Mid May, and been putting in about 5-7 hours a day. I plan to put in 10 from now on since there's only a little over a month left. I haven't gotten to do the Destroyer problems yet but that's the next thing I am going to hit. So far I've used Kaplan Organic Edge and AP Bio and AP Chem and finishing up CDM.
see what you get on topscore and achiever and how you do on destroyer and if youre still doing well , i'd move it up so you dont forget the material. I dont think you want to sit around for the next month and a half doing more problems when you already know the material! Id move it up to the beginning of august or maybe late july if you feel prepared enough.
goodluck!

You still have a lot of time left. I would start considering this probably around 2 weeks before the test if the marks are still so/so.
Also remember the results from these tests don't do a good enough job of telling you what you will get.
Get CDP and Math Destroyer for PAT and QR (and TBH you should be well on your way in those sections).
KBB and AP Bio is enough to do well in bio. I really liked Chads videos for Organic as well, helped me get a few questions that I otherwise would have never gotten.
Aside from that, I'd say you are in a good position, just keep at it and you'll do fine. Don't let practice tests bog you down. Use them to practice, and correct them after. Unless you are getting something abnormallly low, it seems to be a common theme around here that people get 17/18 Achiever tests and end up getting 20+ on the real thing. I'm not sure about the Kaplan tests I didn't do well on the one that came with the book.
I'd say just keep going at it and re-evaluate 2 weeks before. You have lots of time.

You are good. You don't need to reschedule.

seems like youre ready to go, I say if you dont want to be on the late side I would reschedule to make it as soon as possible. If you take it tomorrow, your scores will be posted by the day you were planning on taking it. It takes a while to process scores, and interviews start in september so i would get this down asap.
You should do it as early as possible. Otherwise you start forgetting information. In addition, you have 1.5 month left. What else you want to study?

lol... I also tried TopScore and Achiever... Scores weren't that far from Kaplan:
TopScore:
Bio: 18 GC: 19 OC: 21 PAT: 21 QRT: 16 RC: 22 TS: 19 AA: 19
Achiever:
Bio: 19 GC: 18 OC: 21 PAT: 17 QRT: 18 RC: 15 TS: 19 AA: 18
But I'm not sure if this is enough to say that I should reschedule... 😕
