WHY do self-studied APs not mean much??

<br>

<br>

<p>Imagine a doctor who “self-studied” his way through medical school. Even though he passed the finals in all his classes, many people, including perhaps other doctors, might be suspicious of his qualifications since he hadn’t had the full hands-on experience of going to all the classes, labs, and clinical rounds. </p>

<br>

<p>Good question. Maybe they’re just a way for College Board to make a little money on the exams from self-studiers.</p>
