<p>self explanatory ^^</p>
<p>not really. They're awesome. You can completely not care the entire year, and then study the very last minute and for the price of a good prep book, a gallon of coffee and/or some No-Doz, and say about 15 hours of cramming, you can avoid paying for it in college and having to take it again.</p>
<p>Plus you learn tons of cool stuff, that you'll never need probably. But hey, it's all good.</p>
<p>lmao...that was how i studied this year...i dont expect a good grade...</p>
<p>yeah...I gotta say hospitalrules is right...it sucks when you're cramming for the test...but I just saved my family rougly 10,000 bucks when it comes to college just from my this year ap scores...thats a s**tload of money...now my parents can actually sleep easy after we talk about college stuff...</p>

<p>He probably took more than one test.</p>
<p>right, but how can that save you $10,000??</p>
<p>I know it can save less in books and materials for class but how can it save you that much</p>
<p>well there's ike 36 offered aps.</p>
<p>its nice just to save money but the teachers who teach it are poo</p>
<p>Class hours cost about 1,000 now. If one class is about three hours, then it only takes three tests to save 9,000.</p>
<p>i think the guy exaggerated</p>
<p>ok I admit 10,000 was a rough approximation...but it actually is pretty close to the truth...this year I got:
Chem:5
Macro:5
Micro:4
English-Language:4</p>
<p>and from last year I got a 4 in USH...if you look here:
<a href="http://www.admissions.umich.edu/academics/apguidelines.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.umich.edu/academics/apguidelines.html</a></p>
<p>then you'll see my scores are worth twenty credits at UofM...the minimum required amount of credits to graduate is 120 credit hours over four years...since for most students each year is two semesters...that means the average student completes 15 credits a semester...since I already have 20 credit hours in the bank that means I can graduate at least one semester early...and according to this section of the site the cost for two semesters at UofM is...

<p>...yeah...for instate Frosh/Soph undergrads two semesters (Fall+Winter) is estimated to be $20,178...if you divide that number in two to get the estimate for only one semester you come up w/....tada!! an estimated $10,089 per semester...</p>
<p>meh...so I was off by 89 bucks...whatever...either way I just saved my family a huge amount of money...heck...I could possibly save even more at more costly private colleges because they cost more per semester...</p>

<p>So true</p>
<p>I second (or third) l'hopital. (By the way, I'm pretty much in love with l'hopital's rule. Our teacher taught it to us the week before APs, and I shall never again look at derivatives the same way again...)</p>
<p>wow, a week before the exam? How did she prevent you from finding it out by yourselves, did she take away your books? You have to be pretty ignorant / uniterested in order to not find out l'hopita's rule when you are doing derivatives for an entire year.</p>
<p>okay i see the point of AP's now</p>
<p>I love AP tests I love the rush taking them and then finding out what you got etc. etc.</p>
<p>Haha yeah me too!</p>
