<p>If I were you, I’d check the college bulletins of the schools where you would most like to go, and see what you can get for college credit from AP tests. </p>
<p>My S is at Stanford, and you can’t get any college credit for AP Eng Lang or AP Eng Lit there, even with 5’s. My S took AP Eng Lit (along with several other APs) his senior year, but since he was admitted early and knew that where he was going did not offer credit, he chose not to take the test. </p>
<p>However, if he hadn’t gotten into Stanford, he would have taken the test, because that score, combined with AP Eng Lang would have gotten him out of all English requirements at several other schools where he had applied.</p>
