Are AP classes really worth taking?
When taking an AP class you never know if it is worth taking. Yes, it does get you college credits, but it is very expensive.
You’ll have to wait until the end of the year to find out if it is really valuable since your graded on a test that you take. Either you pass it or you don’t.
Angel Pech, a senior who has never taken an AP class but has heard of it, said, “In my opinion they’re not worth it. It takes up a lot of your free time in high school, and since they’re not required, I’d rather complete the regular required courses and enjoy high school.”
AP classes can be a little time wasting if you end up not passing the test.
“I don’t think they’re worth it, because you spend too much money on them to either pass, maybe pass, or not pass at all,” said Esmeralda Ramirez, also a senior.
Michelle M, a senior who took two AP tests, stated that “they’re worth it if they help you save money on remedial college courses, but I still don’t think it should be $95 worth.”
