My HS sophomore is taking 2 AP courses-Euro history and Spanish. She’s not worried about euro, but is totally stressed about Spanish and wants to know whether she should take the test. She is committed to finishing the class, and will almost certainly get an A. She is concerned that she will not do well on the test and that this will hurt her chances for her “dream” college. Is there a downside to doing well in an AP and not taking the exam?
