WHY do self-studied APs not mean much??

@stressedouttt

would you say that self-studied APs have more weight if they’re not necessarily the easy ones??

</p>

<p>Self-studied or not, the “harder” APs are generally more useful for subject credit in university than the “easier” APs. Although APs often matter little or nothing for admissions purposes, if they do matter, the “harder” ones should be more helpful than the “easier” ones.</p>

@stressedouttt

then why do they use the exam scores to give you college credit

</p>

<p>A lot of the time, the “easier” ones (that are commonly self-studied) do not give useful subject credit.</p>
