Trying to tell my AP teacher that I'm not taking the AP exam

<p>So virtually everyone takes the exam for all the AP courses at my school but I just don't see the point. I know where I'm going and I won't get any credit for this particular AP exam, though I will with some other ones.</p>

<p>The teacher told our class that she doesn't really mind, but when I talked to him, she seemed incredulous and a bit ticked off. I'm guessing it's because I'm one of her better students and its an AP exam that doesn't require extensive test preparation.</p>

<p>I was already on the fence of whether to take the test or not b/c I know that if I were to take test it would only detract from my studying for the AP tests that DO matter a little bit. I thought I had finally made a decision but this reaction by my teacher has me reconsidering.</p>

<p>Any opinions/advice?</p>

<p>Are you a senior?</p>

<p>Wait, is your teacher a hermaphrodite?</p>

<p>Take it. It looks horrible if you don’t take the test.</p>

<p>Just take the test for the lulz.</p>

5

<p>^^^ Yup.</p>

<p>^^ LOL, I guess that’s a freudian slip. She is kinda mannish.</p>

<p>And yeah, I decided to take the test after thinking a bit more about it and also reading this post: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1064019777-post15.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1064019777-post15.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I guess I was still stuck thinking in the HS junior paradigm where APs are approached with the “I must get a 5!” mentality.</p>
