How many total AP classes would be under your belt by the time you are out of high school? You must have taken the AP class the full year without dropping. Taking the AP test does not matter, just how many you've taken for one year successfully without dropping or failing.

I think I took 4 of the 5 offered in high school (didn't feel like taking Chemisty II at the time). Graduated in 2000.

I'm a lazy bastard and didn't care so I took a grand total of zero.

How so? You get a full college credit so that you can graduate faster and save ton of money.

Depends on what your major is... Some of those classes dont count for anything you need...

Unless your a business major with buttloads of electives (like me), the college equivalents can sometimes be no more than a general elective credit.

Note: I only took 4 AP tests: US, Calc, CompSci, and Phys. C

Two years ago:

English

Last year:

Physics C-Mech
Calc BC
US Hist.
Spanish
English
Comp Sci.

Next year:

TheoCalc(sorta--more advanced than the last math course, but not covered by an AP)
Modern European History
Physics C-E&M
Chem

Now, I had a little unfair advantage, as I will be going into my 5th year of High School. My sophmore year, I was diagnosed with Graves desease (a form of thyroid disease) and had to drop all but two of my courses that year. So next year, I get to take all kinds of crazy elective courses. :D

10. I took two classes that were more advanced than AP classes... but 10 were technically AP classes.

depends on you. let's say you take all these ap's but you don't know what you want to do. so you spend your time exploring. but you already had a year's worth of units so you get screwed out of a year. it really hurts in some schools that REALLY limit your time there, like UCLA now, whom is really worried about overcrowding.
