Alright, truth be told - i SUCK at standardized tests…i got a 1 on the BC calc (3 AB subscore) and a 1630 on the SATs, 24 ACT composite (11 writing), however i maintain a 3.85+ GPA and I was taking all “advanced” classes (My school does NOT have an honors program for their tougher science classes, just tough admission - i took honors the few times i could and received an A- in my AP class) ((I was also ill on the test taking day))

Anyways, I have 2 classes already at a community college on my transcript, a political science and a US History, both of which i received a 3.7 in.

My question is whether taking all community college classes next year (for a total of 45 college credits) would be a good idea vs taking 3 AP classes that would be a year long.

The only school that I really want to get into is the University of Washington - my other choices are some of the local areas in the Western Washington region.

Next year at the CC(running start - senior in high school) i want to take english, psychology, and more social sciences.

EDIT: I plan on retaking the SAT and ACT this year as a senior, the SAT scores lowered the second time i took it (as a junior) than when i took it as a sophomore. I hope that they both raise when i take them in october.
