[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids just study the prep books without taking the classes too. You don't have to take the class. [b]Colleges are realizing it is kind of a scam.[/b][/quote] What do you mean? [/quote] You do not need to take an AP class to take an AP exam. Taking an AP class and getting an A doesn't provide college credit. Taking an AP exam and getting a sufficiently high score (varies depending on the college) can get you college credit (of a certain type- elective, major or degree credit and may be in limited amounts). Many kids take IB classes and then take the corresponding AP exam and can do well enough to get credit. Some kids have really deep interests in an area and are able to self-study and take the exam.
