Ohhh you will be rewarded for your AP classtakingness!
I only took two AP classes and it got me nine hours of credit, and I do not have to take any math or languages! I am dancing on the rooftop!
Yeah... that is not a very good song...
Anyways, I believe you will be heavily rewarded =D if they count as college credit hours. If they do, you usually have to pay, but not much.
Notice: If your high school is poor and a joke to the community like mine was (it did not even have a language class besides Spanish), then your AP class will not prepare you for college.
The key ingredient to doing well in college: Don't be stupid.
Yeah, that is pretty much it. Like, do not decide to finally study for a final exam two hours before the exam takes place, finish assignments on time, and do not go out partying. I follow these rules and I ALMOST have straight A's. College is not as hard as statistics make it out to be. I was always afraid because the statistics said that only 14% of people made it through to the last year of college and that 75% lost their scholarships on their first semester. Then I found out that they probably lost their scholarships and did not make it through college because they were partying and drinking and maing babies the night before a test. Yeah, real bright XDD!
