<p>I really hate that we have to pay 80+ dollars to take AP classes. Seriously, if I take all the classes I want to take next year, it would add up to at least $500. I know we may be able to get refunds if we pass, but we still have to shell out the money until then. I don't know how I'd be able to convince my parents to spend that kind of money.<br>
I'd even take the classes without taking the Exams, because I'm honestly more interested in the knowledge that would be gained vs. the college credit, but we don't get a credit for taking the class in my county if we don't take the Exam.</p>
<p>You have to pay for the class…? I’d assume then that you wouldn’t have to pay for the actual AP test. I guess it’s so that your school doesn’t have massive fail rates like mine has… money=motivation.</p>
<p>"10. Why does it cost so much? </p>
<p>The AP Program is selective when it comes to the teachers who teach AP courses. Teachers have to go through special training, and the fees pay for that training. Fees also pay for test facilitators who work those extra hours!"
I looked it up. “Sigh” I still resent the high costs,.</p>
<p>At my school, we don’t have to pay to enroll in AP classes. If you want to take the AP test in the spring, then you just pay for the exam. But didn’t the prices jump really high this year? I think it’s $87 per test this year.</p>
<p>You have to pay to take AP tests, and this is because of the college board, not your school. If you want the knowledge but absolutely refuse to pay the fees, I suggest you study them on your own - there are lots of free online resources for nearly every subject imaginable.</p>
