    Anyone else taking it tomorrow (or any other AP), I give you a bracha that you should get a five with minimal agmas nefesh.

    Aw, you’re going to exempt? That was one of my favorite college classes…

    It saves money. I actually like history, but I’d prefer not to pay five times more per credit. (Yes, I will be paying my own way for college.)

    I’m trying to figure out why I’m doing it, though. I’m going to end up having taken APs in subjects I actually like, so that by the time I get to college I’ll be stuck with all the crummy classes.

    I think I need to rework some strategy here…

    Don’t worry, because apart from credits, APs look good in admissions. The more you take the better (only if you plan on getting good marks on them, that is.) 🙂

    Taking AP Euro is probably a sound idea because it’s (I think) a general studies core, so it will definitely save you time. See, I took AP U.S. History, which I later found out is just plain electie credit, which I don’t have to spare. So I will graduate with those 6 credits as superfluous. 🙁

    Also, you probably won’t be stuck with crummy classes because the beauty of college is that if you choose your field of study *coughEnglishcoughcough* wisely, you will probably have a lot of wiggle room for classes. 😀 I only take stuff I like, and core classes that I know have good teachers.
