<p>Ok, I scrolled through some of the posts and a lot of them are incorrect. Ap Exams are a way to show either grade deflation or inflation. Some ap classes do nothing, others have 3 hours of h.w a night. Even though ap exams carry a huge curve how many people do you see with 10 5’s? Colleges need some standard for high school classes. An honors class does not mean anything because the criteria can change for every high school. </p>
<p>But yes, ap exams aren’t a large part of admissions, admissions officers still glance at them. You can also win awards such as National Ap Scholar which does count in admissions.</p>
