AP Comparative and US Government question?

Test Preparation AP History & Social Sciences
1

Hi</p>

for the first year at my school, comparative and US government are combined, meaning we are meant to take both AP exams.</p>

i was thinking i should only take the US government one, because the comparative one conflicts with my AP French exam and i do not want to take a makeup exam. </p>

also, i feel that preparing fully for one exam would be more beneficial to attempt getting a good enough score to place out of government in college, as opposed to taking both exams and spending half the time preparing for each.</p>

i am not required to take the tests, but i do have to pay 89 dollars for each, which is another reason why taking one less would not be bad.</p>

my parents want me to take both though. any input? thanks! (by the way, i am in 6 AP classes total.)</p>

<p>You’re already taking 6 other exams (im assuming?) so adding another one (especially a History one at that) will be horribly stressful.</p>

<p>Plus, i hear the make up exams are slightly harder, so you definitely dont wanna go with that option =)</p>
