a lot of kids just take ap classes so they'll get the 5.0 on their gpa without really caring about the info or doing well on the tests, those are the ones that fail

<p>Just about anyone can enter AP classes at my school. They end up slowing the class and the 'rigor' preached by the CollegeBoard's guidelines diminishes. Sometimes, they're put into APs because there are no other classes available so people are forced to do 'AP' anyway... and eventually fail exams.</p>
