<p>My college counselor explained it to me like this:
“Take whatever you feel you’ll do best in”</p>
<p>You’re not applying to any specialized courses that require specific tests, right? If you think you’ll do best in Lit and Math 1, then do Lit and Math 1. Remember, the AP exams are a lot harder than SAT’s, so if you study with your AP prep books, even after only having half a real course you’ll definitely be prepared. (the only time I don’t really suggest this is in an AP science course like Chem and Physics, those are better to wait till the end of the year for. World History though, it’s worth a shot trying an SAT practice exam or two before deciding) Take a couple practice tests, see where you stand and gauge how much you can realistically improve for each, and then decide.</p>
