Hello! In my personal opinion, yes, as by retaking it you could earn CS college credits, if that's what you're going for.

I think it also depends on whether or not you would you take the entire class over, or only self study for the exam.

I would just be self studying for the exam. The thing is that I already have 5 AP's next year (Calc AB, Physics 2, Macro, Micro, Lang) so I would have to study for those exams on top of this exam and since I'm not in the CSA class, I might have forgot some Java stuff though,

Ok, now that makes it more difficult. If you think you'll be too bogged down with your course load, I'd recommend you save your time for other endeavors. Having an A and B in the course already shows dedication and course rigor, and if self studying 1 course would interfere with your other AP's, I personally wouldn't do it.
