<p>In Canada AP’s are $120 each. I’m going to end up taking 20 of them (though not in the same year).</p>
<p>My total cost of AP exams is $2400. Not to mention the study guides that I bought/will end up buying o__O"</p>
<p>I think you guys are forgetting something here. Would you rather spend $87 - 120 + study guides(and you don’t necessarily have to buy them… there’s libraries and internet for that) </p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Spend thousands of dollars taking remedial/first year college courses?</p>
<p>Hm, I prefer the 1st choice.</p>
<p>quality over quantity; I’d rather have 10 5’s then a mess of 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s.</p>
<p>I know a person taking 6 ap’s his junior year. Chances are he’s going to fail 3 of them. That means that those 3 tests are a waste of time.</p>
<p>I think all of us are confident of 5’s.</p>
<p>I’ve noticed that every single person on this forum is a really smart guy who’s going to aim for the good universities and as such are taking like 10 APs at least lol.</p>

<p>How do you know he’s going to fail 3 of them? I know tons of people taking 6 APs their junior year(or maybe it’s just my school :P) and most of them pass all 6(which also means 3 i’ll admit) </p>
<p>Lol there’s this one guy, he’s a junior and valedictorian with 15 APs in total and a 4.0</p>
<p>@JLee92: Quality over quantity as well. I’m not taking as many AP tests as I could, but I’m working hard to get 5s on every one.</p>
<p>In Florida, the school pays for all AP exams. The only time you have to pay is if they find out you didn’t try to pass.</p>
<p>Is that for public schools?</p>
<p>lol you guys are taking about barely breaking 20 AP’s by the end of high school
and I’d only have taken 6
o.O awkward >.< lol</p>
<p>lol my school paid for both exams i took this year. AP US History, which I took online, and AP WH, which I self studied. :)</p>
<p>*** is wrong with this. Its kind of unfair how we have to pay and other schools don’t</p>
<p>^ We have to pay to enroll in the AP class as well as the full $90 for the exam itself…</p>
<p>^ … What the **** thats messed up. I mean I can understand that not very good schools don’t have tons of people taking APs, so they encourage it by making it free, but seriously? What if you just happen to go to this competitive school?</p>
<p>At my school everyone has to pay, this really is ridiculous</p>
<p>I wish the school paid for APs. I would take more if that were the case. Or even if not, it would have saved a LOT of money…</p>
<p>The states should start picking up the tabs for APs I think, especially in my state (MD) which consistently ranks in the top 5 education systems in the country. There really is no excuse otherwise</p>
<p>I think, if not pay outright, the school should have you take a practice exam and if you get a 3+, should pay for it, otherwise you pay. Or pay 50% for 3, 75% for 4, 100% for 5. Strange idea and definitely has drawbacks but I would really like just having the option for something like this.</p>
<p>I also wouldn’t mind, in a private school, having tuition raised but free APs. Paying for APs creates an incentive not to take them, while everyone has to pay the same tuition. Or, the school could raise tuition for everyone not needing financial aid.</p>

<p>Your idea sounds really good. Should we suggest it to CB?</p>
<p>College Board has nothing to do with it</p>
<p>Yeah, CB just cares about getting the money; it doesn’t care who it comes from.</p>
