<p>I suppose you’re right. But it still doesn’t make sense at all. The people not taking college courses and not scoring high on SATs and ACTs are the people more likely to not succeed in the AP courses… unless, of course, the AP course’s standards are dragged down, thus hurting the people who seriously want to learn.</p>
<p>Also, I heard that the policy won’t be implemented for a couple of years anyhow, and that’s the policy that’s in place now, so it may change soon. Your link is also for Core 40, and not the general high school diploma.</p>
<p>And can you back up that the state will pay for APs regardless if you’re taking the exam or not? I’d like to take a few exams this year and I have until the end of tomorrow to sign up. My school specifically told me that you have to take the corresponding exam, but they may be wrong… I’ve looked around the Internet and can’t find anything.</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>Nope, you’re wrong.</p>

<p>“School corporations in Indiana are required by
state law to provide AP courses in mathemat-
ics, science, and English language and litera-
ture for qualified high school students.
Additionally, the law authorizes the subsidiz-
ing of AP exam costs by the state of Indiana
for the Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus,
Environmental Science, and Statistics tests
(the AP English Language and Composition
exam is not covered by the reimbursement
program).
62
Because the intent of the state
funding of AP exam fees is to encourage stu-
dents to enroll in challenging courses, students
are eligible for the exam funding only if they
have taken the corresponding College Board
AP course.”</p>
