Are AP credits REALLY worth the trouble?

<p>I am not doing APs because I want to skip any classes. I want to show that I challenged myself beyond my school curriculum. 2 out of 3 APs I did were self-studied. </p>

<p>For example, my school’s math department is a bureaucracy that won’t let me advance to Calculus this year. So, I self-studied Calc BC and I could take the test. Colleges will see that I completed Calc this year, but I will take Calculus again in college to solidify my knowledge.</p>
