I haven't take the class in over 9 months. And AP class is that not a college class? You try taking a test for a class you haven't had in 9 months.

Ah, the good old days of AP High School classes! I took 7 frickin' AP tests:
English Lit/Comp Calculus AB US History Chemistry Physics B Physics C Mech Physics C E&M Never did get a "5", and my only score that wasn't a "4" was Physics C E&M (a disgusting "2".) Since I was studying Physics, the UW didn't give me any credit for those classes, but all those other tests were worth 15 credits (a full quarter's worth). Helped me graduate nearly ahead of schedule (I had to take one 5 credit class my last quarter.) With college so expensive these days, I'd say it is worth trying to get as many credits ahead of time as possible....

I'm a junior now (a semester ahead of time) because of my APs. My gf is graduating a year early because of hers. Entered college as a sophomore

I can't remember. Do the schools charge for AP classes claiming they are administered by under the guidance of some college and claim each is like 3 college credits? I remember we had something like that but I cant remember if it was AP or not.
Rather than take APs I took my gym and English credits I needed for Sr. year at a local community college along with an entire first years worth of credits or my Sr. year. |

man, that sucks--when i went to HS back in houston, we didn't have that many AP classes offered (mostly cuz the local yokels were more interested in shop class, and going to the JC after graduation).
Calc AB: 3 Bio: 4 English: 5 and i still majored in engineering, go figure. at least they helped me get a half semester ahead .

Dual enrollment is the way to go. No credit by exam, and the classes are guaranteed to transfer and they count the same towards your HS GPA. Plus you get to talk to older college chicks in class. Taking that instead of AP classes was the best decision I made in HS.

Getting out of college early isn't something that one should strive for, in retrospect. Not having to pay for those credits is a good thing, of course, but extend that college experience as much as possible. There will be no other time in your life when you will have that little 'true' responsibility and as much freedom to do whatever you want (I generalize, of course, and do realize many college students have some pretty heavy burdens/obligations to carry).

i didn't want to go this route because although CC course units might transfer to a 4 year institution, it won't look as good as a course taken at a more competitive school for professional/graduate school.
