Is it best to wait and use The American Opportunity Credit for when my daughter is a full time collage student to get more benefit

Daughter started community collage this year as a part-time student  she is still in high school too. Turbo tax is telling me we will get                 better break off hte American Opportunity credit. With that having a 4 time use only should I save that for    when we are a full time student so we can take more advantage of tax break
