Does it look bad if you take an AP exam before the class?

Yes, colleges do care about AP classes; I am aware, as I never said just having an AP score is important enough.

But, if I would already have a high AP score beforehand, it would imply to admissions officers that I took a class that I knew would not be difficult for me.
