<p>this question has probably been on the forum over and over again, but i wanted to know whether you all think taking ap credits to move on to he next courses is a good idea.</p>
<p>i feel like i've forgotten a substantial amount of things i learned in many of my ap classes, so i don't know what to do.</p>
<p>i don't see the rush in trying to pass out of everything you can. if you think you will be bored in the class, pass out of it. so from the sounds of it, i wouldn't recommend you pass out of your classes, that is unless you don't care about GPA</p>
<p>You should have no problem moving on to higher classes with AP credit. Just like you haven't done that subject in a year or two, there are going to be people who took the intro class at umich and haven't done the subject for a year or two. You might not be able to recall from scratch right now, but you'll be surprised at what you still know when your memory starts to get jogged from things that come up in class.</p>
<p>alot of intro classes that you would get ap credit for (ie: calc ab/bc, bio, micro/macro) are all really hard weeder classes at mich.. math115/116, bio162, and econ101/102 are all known to be ridiculously difficult so i highly highyl recommend taking the ap credit/moving on to the next course for these classes (because chances are, the next level will be easier than these).. also keep in mind that you will not necessarily even WANT to advance further in many of the subjects that you have ap credit for.. one thing i learned in college is to only take classes that you need, orthe ones that you have a strong interest in.. yup yup but ap credit comes in surprisingly handy i must say~</p>
<p>I know some people that didn't take any ap exams after being enrolled in 3-4 ap classes (mainly weeder classes: calc bc, chem, bio) because they figured it would be "more difficult" at the college level. This made the classes really easy and most of these people regret having to retake a course because they aren't much different than what they've had in high school.</p>
<p>Basically, if you can pass out of it...then you probably are prepared enough to skip the class.</p>
