[Kipper is King]

I enjoyed taking AP classes in high school. I found the more challenging course content to be engaging, and I generally thought the AP courses were taught by the best teachers in a given subject area.

However, I know the idea with passing AP exams is that you can get credit for junior-level courses at some universities. Looking back on it, if I had skipped junior courses in university thanks to AP, I would have had a difficult time. I don't think high school AP courses are appropriate substitutes for university courses.

That renders the AP exams (and their cost) to be almost pointless IMO.
