[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep reading colleges either don’t look at AP exam scores, or more selective colleges won’t give you credit regardless of score. So how essential is it to sit for the formal AP exam? Is taking the class and getting an A all that really matters? [/quote] Of course you take the AP test! Most schools do offer credit, including many selective colleges. Take the test and see where you land at college. My kid is at a T40 school and can use up to 4 AP credits for college credit (my kid had 8 APs). They used another 2 to take entry-level credit and take more advanced courses at college. They applied to 2 T20 schools and both took AP credits, and another ranked in the 20s and they took AP credit as well. So take the damn AP test, and worry later if you will get the credit. Since you never know where you will end up. Also, if you get 4/5s, it's good to self report when applying to college, it certainly doesn't hurt your application [/quote]
