<p>I agree - never say never and sometimes doing both would waste money… but I think the high school is making the point that AP classes are typically taught by someone with a BA or BS degree while the college equivalent is taught by a Ph.D. + so the depth of material covered is different. The AP Bio test was recently reworked so maybe it’s a different course, but several universities would not accept the old test for credit because it was considered an inch deep and a mile wide and therefore not a true college level equivalent.</p>
