Should students be required to take AP exams?

<p>D went to private school, they were required to take the AP test for each AP course they had. However, some just put their names on the sheet, others took it for real. Just an observation regarding what happened.</p>

<p>If it is the school's policy that you have to take the exam if you take the course, then that is the way it goes. A school should have funds for those who are having monetary issues; I know the schools where my kids go do. I would have a problem with this if it is not made clear when the kids enroll. Also, the schools should get the monetary part of it settled up front when the classes are scheduled. That way there is no misunderstanding.</p>
