Why bother with remaining AP tests? USC caps AP credit.

Is there any reason at all for me to expend any effort taking additional AP tests beyond the 8 test limit (8 tests w/ 4 or 5= 32 credits at USC)? Although I know I can’t get actual credit for them, will they help me get even more registration priority than those with “only” 32 credits? I know this is a long shot… but I’m kind of bummed I paid all this money for these stupid tests only to discover I can’t get credit for them…

If it’s pertinent, I’ve gotten 4s or 5s on bio, calc AB, spanish, lang and world history. This year I’m taking 5 more… but sadly, I can’t get 40 units of credit :(. The tests for this year are APES, Comp gov, us gov, lit and stats.

Does this mean I can just blow off the final 2 and draw pictures in the booklets? I know I’ll get at least 4s on all the tests I try on.
