Can anyone help me with SATIIs?

Most colleges that actually require SAT IIs are quite competitive. They are looking for advanced applicants, not below average ones. I suggest you prepare for them again if you want to get into a college that requires them.
I don’t believe retaking would look bad for college admissions. While your original scores will be seen no matter what, you can’t be penalized just by retaking.
Your SAT Subject Test scores are designed to help verify your grades in your respective class. If you are doing very well in your class but get 500-range on your SAT Subject Tests, it will certainly hurt you. If you are doing below average in your class and get 500-range, it will probably help a tiny bit.
I’d suggest that you retake them. It shows your dedication. I’d definitely spend some money to get books to study for the tests. If you can’t afford them new, try to find them cheaper off of eBay.
Practice tests are the best method to help you score better on the real test.
Good luck!
