Should I take AP Computer Science AB?

I already took AP Computer Science, and did well on the AP exam. Now, i'm wondering if I should take AB, next year, what do colleges like?

If you're going to be a CS major, it doesn't really matter.. it's better to actually take the courses at college, instead of getting credit for them via AP.

No go away. It's probably the same thing.

hmm... definetely not being a CS major.... I guess I'll take AP Human Geography instead...

I wouldn't unless you need it to look good in the apps process. For the love of God, retake it instead of exempting when you get in though.... you need that easy A on the GPA

Always take AP courses if you can possibly get any credit regardless of your major. It's especially cool if you can get enough credits to enter college as a sophomore (and get earlier registration)

Really, isn't that usually done a long time ago?
