To take APUSH exam or not?

So, I just transferred from another school to a new school. I am taking APUSH this semester, and it’s going pretty well. However, I did not take APUSH the past semester and have missed everything pre- Spanish American war. I have a basic understanding of US History, but not close to the AP level. Would you advise taking the APUSH exam in May?</p>

<p>I scored 5’s on AP history exams and never got to use them when I went to college.</p>

<p>I would only take it if I could review the early stuff some. I think there’s always one short answer dealing with it.</p>
