[quote=Anonymous]I graduated in 2007, and I believe took 1 AP class my sophomore year, 3 my junior year, and 8 my senior year (plus one AP exam that I studied for myself because the class wasn't offered). They're not all year-long classes. Our government, economics and comparative politics AP classes were just 1 semester. I never really felt stressed out in high school, but I definitely did way more work in high school than in college or grad school. I ended up starting college with more than 60 hours of credit (some of that was non-AP, like testing out of intro Spanish). GREAT way to avoid paying so much $$$ for college.

The annoying thing with AP classes is there's still a lot of busy work and silly assignments, but at least you're actually learning a lot of interesting content. I wish that they would structure AP coursework more like an actual college class-- midterm, maybe a paper or two, and a final, or a weekly lab, midterm, and a final. It's all the dumb busy work that's "stressful."
