re: What do high school AP classes do?

When I was in school, AP classes meant you worked 3 times as hard and got nothing extra for the extra effort. I figured that out by my junior year and refused any more AP classes, so I could cruise to a great GPA while the supposedly smart valedictorian struggled all the way.
Currently, I understand that high school kids can earn college credit hours for AP classes, and if that had been the case in the mid-80s, I would have been in AP classes.

My dumbass took AP chemistry cause I liked chemistry. Didn't get no college credit. Had I taken AP Physics or AP Calculus though I could have gotten credit.

Just because your take the class doesn’t mean anything. It’s all about the AP test at the end of the year, graded 1-5. Generally a 3 or higher gets you out of at least something in that area of study.

While I got nothing extra for taking the classes during high school, having took them gave me the ability to successfully test out of the same courses when I entered college.
