| No, they don't, but they certainly are a good litmus test for your potential. There is a girl in Canada who took 27 AP tests, and ended up going to MIT because of that.
The thing is, if you fail an AP test, it doesn't really matter. But if you get a 5 or 4 on a test that you didn't take a class for and show it to the colleges, it's a little bonus point. Although most colleges don't look at your scores as much as say, the SAT or ACT, getting good AP scores could only help your chances. |
