Sac State ACE program vs AP exam

is it better to enroll in sac state ACE program for university credit or give Ap exam for computer science A for senior?
guidance needed
@gumbymom thanks

If your student is already taking the AP Computer Science A course Senior year, they should take the exam and get the credit.

To me it seems a little late in applying for the ACE program if this is your Senior student since there is only 1 more semester left before graduation.

Not all DE courses will be given credit at other colleges and the grade will be on his permanent college transcript. On the other hand, AP credit is more universal but it also does not guarantee that credit will be given at all colleges. One is not better than the other, so it is his decision.

Since the college applications require that you list Senior year courses, what was listed originally AP CS A? If so and there is a schedule change, all colleges need to be notified.

It is best to consider factors such as time, cost, and the student’s learning style and goals before deciding whether to enroll in the ACE program at Sac State or give AP exam for Computer Science A. It’s also recommended that the student meet with a guidance counselor or academic advisor to help weigh the options and make an informed decision.
