I’m assuming that you’re a junior? Of course you can take the tests, but I doubt it’ll significantly increase your chances at top schools like MIT, even if you get 5’s on both. Take my word for it, it’s extremely difficult to get a 5 on AP Language without being in the class. So, if you’re worried about “looking good” to colleges above everything else, then I’d suggest taking the most rigorous courses at your school, doing well in them, and acing your standardized tests.
