Should I send in my AP scores?

It’s my understanding that incoming freshmen this year have been warned that if their APs give them credit for a course, they cannot decline it - i.e. you can’t choose to take math 10 if you received a 5 on the BC exam and submit your scores.

I might be wrong, of course, but I seem to remember a post a few weeks ago to that effect.

As for retaking courses for an easy A…doesn’t it seem like a waste of time to take a course if you know all the material just for the sake of getting an A? (if you do need a review, of course, that’s different.) You have 30-40 courses in 4 years at Brown, and most students find that isn’t enough to take everything they want - it seems silly to throw one away (and there are plenty of new courses that have light workloads while teaching material one doesn’t already know to consider)
