i don’t know much about homeschooling, but if you do well on ap’s that you studied for yourself, i definitely think it will help you. it shows you’re willing to work outside of what you’re provided with, which is important for top schools. also, ap’s can help you place out of intro or requirement courses in college, so you can save money and time. taking the ap’s can only help. even if you do bad, you can opt to not put ur scores on ur app. i would suggest taking them. but, if you choose not to take them, i don’t think it will hurt your admissions chances because you did not otherwise have the opportunity to take them, unlike kids at large public/private schools
