self study and ap exam

<p>is there really any benefit to taking an ap exam self study. I couldn't get APUSH this year and thought of taking the ap self study. It won't impact my gpa and I don't think it shows on my transcript so I am wondering if I should bother? I will be taking 2 other ap exams
thanks</p>

<p>Because you can get college credit. Some people take AP's because they think it'll look good to colleges. I disagree; take it if you really like AP US History and think that you can get credit.</p>
