and even if the ASE’s weren’t up to the difficulty of the actual exams, you could just learn about whatever the test didn’t cover/do harder problems later. you know, classes aren’t the only way to learn stuff. furthermore, you can hone your skills in other classes that have them as a prerequisite – teachers don’t expect students to remember every single detail of what they learned in prereq classes, so you’ll probably have some time to warm up and refresh your memory (e.g. 18.02 is crucially necessary for the vast majority of physics courses beyond 8.02, linear algebra is used a lot in 8.06, etc.)

i passed out of every single ASE offered this year, and i don’t feel like i missed out on anything.
