<p>Do i HAVE to take AP tests if I took AP courses?
I heard that the admissions officers think negatively about taking AP course but not taking the test </p>
<p>No. You don’t have to. You may also take AP test without taking the course too. Many senior do not take the AP exam if they know they cannot get extra credits from the school they’ve admitted.</p>
<p>The only thing I have to add on to billcsho’s response is that I know of a handful of highschools (usually private) that require students to take AP tests, so I would also check with your school. </p>
<p>I would just take the AP test. You don’t need 5’s on all of them to get into a good college!</p>
<p>In Florida, you must take the test if you took the class, or pay the ~$93 penalty, so there are more than a handful of schools that require it.</p>
