What are your thoughts? Agree or disagree?
in a way i both agree and disagree with this article. i agree that ap courses take away from the college experience, but only if you pass the ap test. you wont take the class in college, and you wont get that higher understanding on the subject. if you don't pass the ap test and you get a lot of information on the subject i think it is beneficial to you. you get a jump start on the subject, instead of being given the opportunity to skip it.
