AP US Government and Politics

I am going to take an Introduction to American Politics Course at UC Berkeley during the summer. My school does not offer an AP US Government and Politics course, but I was wondering if I should take the AP Exam using the knowledge from the college course and review books. I know I will be getting college credit anyway from the course I’m taking, but I was wondering if it would be good to take the AP exam to add something impressive to my transcript.</p>
