<p>Because we have to take validation tests over plebe summer, I assumed it would be pointless to take any AP tests. However, the following website says certain AP test scores can automatically validate the respective course:</p>

<p>Would it be in my best interest to sign up late for the AP tests or just wait for the validation tests?</p>
<p>I would take the AP tests for anyone who is just going through the process of applying or is thinking about applying to the academy. </p>
<p>This looks to be the current policy. Why not take the AP test or IB while it is fresh.
[USNA</a> Course Validation Policy](<a href=“http://www.usna.edu/acdean/candidateinfo/USNACourseValidationPolicy.htm]USNA”>http://www.usna.edu/acdean/candidateinfo/USNACourseValidationPolicy.htm)</p>
<p>Should we use AP or SAT II Subject books to prepare for the tests?</p>
<p>AP. USNA has no use for SAT subject scores or exams.Agree w/ mom. The upside is substantial. Downside, at least from a USNA perspective is none.</p>
<p>if it is late than it would not make much difference other than that you would probably have to review more if you did validations and it would be during plebe summer so i dont imagine that would help any :P</p>
<p>btw, LOVE the name.

<p>Are we related?
