<p>I'm currently a junior, but was wondering is there any point in self-studying over senior summer/senior year.
And also, do colleges get to look at the AP tests score (since its in May) for senior year, or just the grades?</p>
<p>You'll probably know which college you're going to by the time you take your AP exams in senior year. Unless you really like the subject or want to get college credit, there's not too much point in self-studying during your senior year. </p>
<p>A bunch of seniors wanted to study for AP Physics C at my school. They were all motivated for a while. It's only been a few months and only one or two people still plan to take it. My theory is that it's because they're done with applications and are ready to leave, but generally, it will be a lot harder to self-study your senior year. Take what you want to take this year, and enjoy next year.</p>
<p>As for me, I'll probably be taking AP CS and Physics C next year, along with other actual AP classes. That's purely out of being interested in them though, and not for college.</p>
<p>An AP test can sometimes get you out of a general ed requirement, so self-study, or just taking a test can be worth it. I never took AP English class but took the test anyway, got a 4, and got out of a semester of english comp. Well worth it.</p>
<p>o true ... so in a way it can help in college.</p>
