<p>The short answer is yes. While AP’s can be a great time and money saver they can also be a shot in the foot for some. For example getting exempted out of English at your university can mean you never get college level writing training unless you intentionally take a class on it. And everyone can use writing practice and help. Also for those students who are undecided on a major or who change theirs having tested out of your first year or 2 has taken away all that growing and exploring time. At many schools you have to declare your major by the time you have 30-60 credits so those with tons of AP’s have to make a choice right away even if they don’t want to. If not they end up taking more classes than they need to. Some schools are cracking down on time to degree and won’t allow or will $$ penalize you for taking more than the required # of credits. Basically it’s a personal choice, but talk with your high school counselor and your college advisor to build a good plan for you. Good luck!</p>
