I haven't taken my SATs yet and I'm a junior. It means I have one chance to take it before I apply for college. What happens if I don't do well? Could I retake it later and then later send in the scores?

I would advise you to get the book "10 Real SATs" from the college board website. Study it. Take some of the practice tests--timed and NO cheating! If you take several, and the scores are something you can live with, just wait and take the SAT at the first chance in the fall. Registering NOW would be a great idea---do it on the web. Then when you take the test, if the results are similar to what you expected from the "practice tests"... fine. If not, you can then think about retesting. That's why it's important to take your practice tests with a clock---and no cheating: you are going to need those "scores" to see if the real thing is in the ballpark.

There is a test in October, as well as November, so you'll auctually have two oppertunities I believe, if you take it in october.
