I know people keep reiterating this-- but take the exams in June! I took AP US His my Freshman year and didn’t know about SAT II requirements at most colelges. I found this out over the summer of my Freshman year and decided to take the SAT II for US His in Novemeber, which would give me enough time to review everything that I had joyously forgotten after taking the AP exam. Basically, although I got a 5 on the AP exam, I ended up with a measly 740 on the SAT II. I know that if I had taken it back in May/June, I would have surely done better.
