<p>Well okay--I am a junior and I am currently taking 3 ap classes (the most ap classes than any junior in my school is taking surprisingly) which are ap us history, ap english and ap physics.
to make a long story short--my teacher isnt the best physics teacher--its confusing--the whole class (only 8 of us) is confused.
surprisingly i am maintaining an A average in ap physics. the class is set up as dual enrollment (if i pass the course i automatically get college credit for that course (from a state engineering school which can be transferred) )...be/c of this already guaranteed college credit, does it even make sense for me to take the ap physics exam??
i fear that it will take A LOT of extra studying in order for me to get a 4 or 5--and i want to dedicate more time for ap history or english.</p>
<p>Last I checked, dual enrollment only works with certain colleges. Meaning that your state U (Rutgers or TCNJ) might accept the credit but an OOS school might not.</p>
<p>So I would, but check with your GC first. And even if she says all schools accept it, I still would to see if you are truly comfortable with AP Physics C. If you’re not, it’s bad because the subject is a lot to learn and it’s prob. a better idea to take it in college instead of using the credit (if you plan to major in science, that is).</p>
<p>my gc sucks too.
my school in general is not very helpful in terms of this whole college admission thing–thats the consequence of attending an urban school–wish i could move back to pennsylvania.
but thanks. im still trying to decide what to do</p>
<p>Just take it and see what you get. AP exams are a really, really minor part of admissions and I really doubt they exist as anything more than a small tiebreaker. They’d probably get more ****ed that you didn’t take the exam (if you don’t).</p>
