Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>My school doesn't offer AP Government, AP Economy, or AP Language. I will, however, be taking Honors Gov / Econ, in addition to AP Literature and another advanced English class (all of these classes, I know, have good teachers).</p>

<p>My questions are:</p>

<p>1) Will these classes prepare me well for the respective AP exams?
2) Is it a good idea to take the AP exams, since I am taking easier versions of the classes anyway?
3) Do colleges look at AP exams that you took without the classes--do good scores look good to them?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>For #3, it won’t matter too much in admission. It will just help you for getting college units and maybe pass out of some classes.</p>

<li><p>Only you can answer that. Talk to your teachers and kids in school. We don’t know how your classes are taught.</p></li>
<li><p>Yes, if you feel prepared, it’s a good idea. You can get college credit.</p></li>
<li><p>They definitely consider them, but it would be better if you had the AP class. Since it’s not offered in your scenario, that’s a moot point.</p></li>
