<p>If a school doesn't give any AP credit, could I just sleep through all the exams, get 1s, and not suffer any consequences?</p>
<p>You don’t have to take the exams at all, as long as you do reasonably well in the classes themselves. If your final transcript shows poor grades in the class second semester, you may have to explain them and could be put on academic probation for your first semester.</p>
<p>Why not take the exams, try to do well and possibly place out of a college class (or into a higher level college class)?</p>
<p>How you do in the exams does not matter at all, yes. You still need good grades though</p>
