Should I take the AP exam?

I know there is still a month left, but I have been getting 2s and 3s on my practice tests for the AP English Language exam. I live overseas and my school makes us pay $135 for each exam. I have two other AP exams to study for and the highest I can raise the score is probably to a 3 or 4. Most of the colleges I'm looking at only give credit for a 4 or 5. Do you guys think it's worth it? My parents want me to take it but I think it's a waste of money because I want to focus on the other two exams so I can get a 4 or 5 on those.

Give it a shot. Keep studying, you still have a month until the test. A few practice tests now won't determine how much better you will get in a month. Balance your study time with your other tests and I think you can make a 4 on that test. Go for it.
