I'm thinking about not taking this exam. I would probably do very well on it. However, with princeton's AP policy, I would not be getting any credit. I would just get "advanced standing". Further, I heard that people can take placement exams, which are the same policy, right? Also, isn't it wiser to take the placement exams, since those exams would be taken close to when I take classes first semester. So, the exams would measure how much I knew at that time, and not May 7th. I think I would forget lots of the information over the summer. I would really like to get the refund of 70 dollars also, especially since the exam is not going to do anything good for me.
