Expensive...Should I Take Them?

<p>I'm taking a lot of AP classes this year (AP Macroeconomics, AP French, AP Psychology, AP Physics, AP European History, AP Calculus). And I think I could do well on all of them (maybe not Physics). But it is so expensive! It costs around $90 to take each test at my school (I don't know if it's any different at other schools) and I don't qualify for financial aid. So some of my peers, those who do qualify for financial aid, get to take the test for $6. (The injustice!) I may not qualify for financial aid but it's still a burden. I'm not rich or anything. Anyway, I heard that if you don't take the AP tests it looks bad for colleges. The only thing keeping me from taking the tests is money.</p>

<p>Advice?</p>

<p>Take them!! Even though it may seem expensive, its still cheaper than a college course that may cost 500 to 600 dollars per course at a public institute. And with a private one the price is even higher!!!! If you do well on these exams its worth the 84ish dollars you pay for them.</p>

<p>You can apply for financial aid? No one from my school has ever done that. I'm planning to take 4 this year, that's like $320+ out the window. </p>

<p>How do people apply for financial aid?</p>

<p>it depends on how many ppl. are in your family and how much your family makes,..at my school it is usually $85 but w. the aid it is still $55</p>

<p>i agree that taking the tests would help you save money in the long run, just try to get help from friends or family. I count my blessings that my county only requires me to only pay for one ap test while all the rest are paid for since i am taking four this year.</p>
