Couple questions in regard to ap classes/tests

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys I was wondering about this. At my school, they offer many ap classes. However, this year I'm not able to take some ap classes because my schedule conflicts. Now if I self studied the tests, does that matter to colleges? (Would they care if I didn't have the class or not?)</p>

<p>Also, I was going to self study ap statistics and psychology. I was definately going to do psychology but Idk about statistics. Is it really worth it or should I invest my time in something better? (f.y.i. I have never self studied ap tests before.)</p>

<p>Any experiences/comments are appreciated!
Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t think the course matters, the exam results are what they are looking for to see if you earned the credit or not</p>

<p>Don’t do it. Not worth your time.</p>

<p>Definitely do it. If it doesn’t work out you can just scrap the idea and not take the test. I tell you this though, you will regret the decision to bail out on taking those AP exams because you will have to take the class in college (or a similar class) and probably have to pay hundreds of dollars for the class.</p>

<p>Take as many AP classes as you can handle. One of the best things you can do to prepare for college. I know people who have graduated from college in 2 and a half years because they had so much AP credits.</p>

<p>Yeah but AP test exams don’t affect college acceptance. The classes are what they want to see</p>

<p>I think AP exams do affect acceptance (especially if you took it before Senior year). </p>

<p>To OP: Which year are you going into?</p>

<p>Check with the University that you will be attending to. Some don’t recognize the AP exams.</p>
