Why Should I Take This AP Exam???

I’m in a similar position, except we’re “expected” to take the AB exam after a single year course (taught by an incompetent teacher). However, I’m a senior, already accepted to college, at a place that would not accept that credit except for placement purposes. Since I really don’t think I could get more than a 3 on it, I’m probably not going to take it. What’s the point?

Anyways, I don’t think NOT taking the exam will necessarily look bad, since reporting AP scores is optional anyways. If you think you can get a 4 or a 5, go for it, since that will look excellent. But if not, I don’t think it will harm you.
