15. AP Advice: Why Take an AP Class? More knowledge before college Rigorous (3 trimester) preparation is the most important aspect of AP Courses. Expect increased reading, writing, and nightly study If your university awards you credit for your AP Testing results, it is an added bonus. Students in AP Classes are serious about learning and very competitive academically. AP Classes look great on college resumes. More Info: http://www.collegeboard.org/http://www.collegeboard.org/
