Q: Are AP classes worth the stress? A:
I don’t regret taking any of the AP classes I’ve taken, so I would say it’s worth the stress. While the content can be difficult, I think the more stressful component is keeping up and managing your time wisely. Also, I think it’s worth it because you get college credit if you pass the AP test. That way, you can take other exciting classes in college.
