<p>Sorry, let me clarify:</p>
<p>I'm trying to decide whether or not to take the AP USH exam.</p>
<p>I really don't care about putting an AP score on my college app or getting college credits in high school, those aren't my motives.</p>
<p>The only reason why I might take the exam is if MIT has a core requirement in US History. If that is the case, then I would rather just get the AP credits right now in high school by taking the AP exam than take the MIT history course in college. I'd rather spend my precious college years concentrating on science and engineering.</p>
