Look at that word. Such an interesting thing. How can a word so small and seemingly insignificant guide my life? How can a word so seemingly small and insignificant force me to spend all of my time studying? Why is it that a word seemingly so small and insignificant create such an intense impact on my life? The answer to all three of those questions comes in the form of an AP Test. I highly dislike AP tests. What is the point anyway? In a course you will experience one of two distinct outcomes. You can either succeed at the course, or you can fail at the course. A college will endeavor only to allow you to skip a course if you perform well enough on the AP exam that it demonstrates that you would have done exceptionally well in the course. But if you would have done exceptionally well in the course, then you should have taken the course in college because it would have increased your GPA, but if you did not succeed in the course in the AP class, then the college should not let you skip the course based on your exam score. That said, the classes you did skip were the ones that you should have taken to counteract the inevitable hit your GPA will take when you take the courses in which you failed your AP Exam in high school.
