Some top tier colleges require that you submit all the SAT Is and SAT IIs you’ve taken since your freshman year. I’d suggest only taking them if you feel prepared, rather than taking them for the sake of taking them.

The way I personally went about choosing classes was taking the most rigorous courses in the subjects I knew I could excel in. I’m good at English and history, science is do-able and I’m horrible at math. So throughout high school, I only took the most advance classes in every subject but math. What I’m trying to say is that I wouldn’t shy away from a class because it’ll be too much work. I’d only pass on the class because it’s truly not something I’m interested in, nor do I have a history of doing well in. Moreover, I think a 90% in an AP class would be better than a 100% in a regular course. And a 3 on an AP test means a student is “qualified,” so it’s really not frowned upon or anything.

For me, the work was hard and stressful, especially combined with other activities. However, everything was well worth the effort in the end.
