Why take Advanced Placement classes?

An important part of high school is choosing your classes, and making sure you take classes you enjoy, but that you will also benefit from. If you didn't already know, an amazing program that does this is the AP (advanced placement) program, and in this video, we explore why!

I think the most important reason is simply if you wish to go to college it allows you to build a foundation for how classes are going to be structured, get exposed to content delivery. You learn how to study for the type of class and you begin to see the overlap of various classes and subjects. However, my personal favorite is the credit you get to take with you to college. While some accept more than others, it is always good to know that if you pass an AP exam you won't have to take the course later on, especially if you end up dreading a course.

The only thing that really turns me away from AP courses is the corporate greed associated with them. College Board is an absolute shitshow of a company and they REALLY need someone else to offer real competition to the AP program and put them in their place. The idea of introductory college courses in high school is good, but im not comfortable with paying a very blatantly for-profit company for a credit im not even guaranteed to receive. Thats why I always choose dual credit courses over their AP equivalents whenever possible.

I took regular physics last year and I decided to do chemistry this year instead of doing AP physics. I want to do ap physics though. What are your thoughts on self-study AP physics 1?
