Should I take the AP tests

<p>If I am already accepted into a college is it necessary to take the AP tests in May when I've already agreed to go to the college I've decided on? If I am not gonna take the test should I still add it to the common app list?</p>

<p>If the school you want to go to accepts the AP credit for the test you would take, I see NO reason in not taking it. You've already spent hours upon hours studying a subject, why not take a 3 hour test and save yourself from repeating it in college?</p>

<p>Except...if you know you are not going to exempt the class, why spend the money? If you are going to study math or engineering and know you want to take the first calculus class (to make sure you have a solid background, to get an easy A, etc), I think it might be a waste to take the exam. I would check to see if you have the option of choosing your class, or if a sufficiently high AP exam score will obligate you to take a higher level course. (This probably wouldn't be the case with humanities courses that tend to be less sequential).</p>

<p>I'm wondering if a college can actually revoke admission if the student's AP scores taken senior year are low...</p>

<p>Oh, that doesn't make any sense...</p>

<p>no they can't</p>

<p>I think you should really check with your high school as some high schools require that you take the exam to get AP credit for the course. You do not have to turn in your test score to the college unless you are looking to recieve credit or placement based on your score</p>

<p>don't foget to check if your college has a foreign language requirment that you could pass out of if you take the corresponding AP test.</p>
