<p>I am currently in AP Music Theory, but I did not sign up for that AP test. Is that a big mistake? And if so, what do I do? I earned an "A" in that class, it's just that if I signed up for the AP MT test, it would be a pain because I'm also taking an IB MT test. Well, in general, is it OK if you get an "A" in an AP class but do not take the AP test?</p>
<p>It is generally NOT OK to skip the AP test if you're taking the AP class, regardless of what grade you have. Since you have an A, you have even less reason to not take the exam. The IB Music exam is late in May...you might as well give the AP exam a shot. Also, if you're doing IB Music SL, you won't get any college credit, so it's best to take AP in that case.</p>
