<p>By the time I finish the 11th grade, I will have satisfied all or almost all graduations requirements (except PE and stuff). All that's left is a bunch of AP classes at my local HS. The alternative, of course, would be to take a bunch of college classes at a local community college. Would this be preferable to taking AP classes?</p>
<p>AP are cheaper, and 5s will transfer to nearly every school. Lots of schools won’t transfer a CC class.</p>
<p>APs are considered better because they’re more standardized, unless you’d be taking something above the level of an AP class. In some states, though, dual-enrollment classes are free.</p>
<p>Take the most challenging curriculum offered by your high school first. That includes dual-enrollment. Then, if you still have time/space, increase the challenge by taking college classes.</p>
