I was going to suggest the same thing. We don’t offer AP Eng (or Honours until senior year), so after I signed up for the SAT II and I began studying I was shocked to find out how difficult it is. I would recommend Lit for you because advanced prep really is going to help. In fact, you can take it 10 June, which is probably right around the end of your school year when you are best prepared. I’m with you in taking a lot of exams: I’m a junior and my schedule starting at the beginning of March is: National Latin Exam two days before my SAT I, a two-weekend break and then leaving for three college interviews (all of which are over halfway across the country), then my SAT II in US History in May, six days before my AP exam, and then the SAT II in Lit on 10 June. Gotta love junior year!

When a college recommends something, it is “good manners” to do it. It means they value the SAT II and will surely wonder why you didn’t take it.
