<p>I think the AP tests are a joke in the sense that people think the real world is equivalent to them. So you can answer multiples choice and write a coherent essay. Does that make you “smart”? Anyone that thinks that needs to get a grip on reality (I’m not accusing anyone here of believing that).</p>
<p>I also believe the AP Tests are a scam that a lot of kids are duped into doing because they feel they will get college credit. 140 dollars for a test is a joke. Yeah some people pass and get a reward at the end, but most (at least at the school I went to) did not. </p>
<p>Also college courses don’t usually come down to one test. There is class work that combines with a final test score. </p>
<p>I obviously do not believe in AP Tests or the SAT for that matter. They are ridiculous and hopefully people can soon see beyond them.</p>
