It’s a lot less of a hassle to get placed into the correct course if you have an AP score. You’re a second semester senior–you don’t have that much to do right now. During freshman week you’ll have a lot of stuff going on, and the last thing you’ll want to do is take a math exam.

I don’t think that the time you take the exam is all that important. You may surprise yourself with how well you retain the information (after all, you did get into Princeton). If on the off chance you sign up for classes and realize that you’re in the wrong math course, you can switch during the first few weeks with no penalty.

It sounds to me like you’re trying to rationalize something that doesn’t make a lot of intuitive sense.
