<p>I just filled out all of the Academic Background Information, but I have one question. In the Political Science section it says that validation may not be the best course of action for the course FP130 U.S. Government and Constitutional Development. I took AP Government in high school and did really well, but decided not to take the AP Exam. Would any midshipman like to comment on whether I should attempt to validate this or was this class one of the “keys to success at USNA”?</p>
