The importance of taking Advanced Placement Classes in High School



Some parents and students can sometimes be a little intimidated about having a high school student take college classes. An important consideration for taking an advanced placement (AP) class is how it can prepare you for college. Taking an AP class in high school will be college level, hard work and time intensive (sounds like college right?) But it has a lot less ramification if the student couldn't handle it as well.
 
Another thing to keep in mind is advanced classes can help students to be better prepared for the ACT test.  
 
Students should meet their counselor to talk about AP being a good fit for the student.  Keep in mind that most colleges will accept 4 and 5 scores for college credit.
