6. The worst case scenario is that you are out $94
The worst case scenario is that you are out $94. But look at what you’ve gained: -experience taking a national exam -demonstrates initiative to colleges (particularly if you receive higher scores later) -practice and preparation for future AP courses (macroeconomics, physics, calculus, Spanish, French) -practice for taking cumulative exams at the college level
