Should I take the AP exam for the AP course I am enrolled in?
In short, the answer is, “yes.” However, there’s a lot of debate out there about the answer to this question. Here are some good reasons why you *should* take AP exams:
It’s possible for you to earn college credit, since 90% of the colleges in the United States offer credit for qualifying scores. Check with the colleges and universities to which you are applying.
You could receive an AP Scholar Award. These are awarded to students who score a 3 or higher on three or more AP exams and are great to add to your college admission application. Visit the College Board for more information on the AP Scholar Award.
It could help you determine how well prepared you are for college. If you score a 3 or higher on an AP exam then you should enter similar college-level courses with a certain confidence you otherwise may not have.
