<p>I'm posting this not to brag (think about it; why the hell would I want to brag to people I don't know?), but because it angers me when I see people posting that taking too many AP tests is insanely difficult and stupid. I was able to take these tests without spending that much time on any of them, and still competed and did very well in extracurricular activities like debate, math/science competitions, Academic Decathlon, and other less important ones. I also got good grades, and I didn't study that much, so I still had a life. I didn't stay in my room 24 hours a day. Far from it. My point is that if anyone feels as if they can or should possibly take an AP test, they should because the tests are not that difficult and they will really help you learn material you wouldn't have otherwise. If anyone tells you that it's stupid to take a lot of AP tests, they're probably just bitter because they couldn't do well on them themselves.</p>
<p>well you would brag for the ego boost, you didn't mention any sports nor a job which is what some people also have to work with, and people still manage a social life, and sorry we can't be as incredibly intelligent as you.</p>

<p>You still haven't proved the former. That is like 60 hours worth of testing (minus filling out the answer sheets and breaks), and that, my friend, is insane.</p>
<p>Did you take classes for all those tests or did you just use prep books? Because to me, taking the class is a much bigger time comitment rather than just studying for a test.</p>
<p>You probably one of the top ten AP test takers in the entire U.S., and it is a huge achievement, but I find it hard to believe you didn't spend much time on all those tests.</p>
<p>Have you thought about the fact that to some ppl some APs might be worse than useless?</p>
<p>1) Some courses aren't accepted for credit at colleges
2) Competitive school don't like APs because they think it's not up to their standards
3) Some schools limit the number of AP credits you can have or count toward a degree
4) Some schools don't make it their policy to take AP credits at all
5) APs cost money and time (especially if you take the class)
6) Having too many APs might force you to start out at a higher level than you'd want for freshmen year</p>
<p>Any of these reasons might be valid for someone who doesn't want to take APs</p>
<p>I gotta agree with iwasnotatypo...although I do manage to fit in 2-3 varsity sports in the school year, so I guess I can talk a little more. I won't boost my ego though :).</p>
<p>This iwasnotatypo is the biggest clown on this site. Im not sure what this kids problem is, but he has some major social issues. Taking an absurd amount of AP tests wont help you in the real world as much as your social skills and ability to be sincere will. Something which you have no concept of.</p>
<p>Haha, I'll admit tho, I'm suitably impressed. I can't imagine having the impatience or energy to sit there year after year and take these tests. My school has a max of 7 classes a year so I can max take 7 APs a year since I'm too unmotivated to self study. I'd probably be in school for 7 years if I had to take that many tests hehe</p>
