There Should Be Two AP Exams

By Shelby Rule

     Students who take AP classes are encouraged to take the AP exam with it. The AP exam takes place in the Spring. AP classes help students get college credits and the exam shows whether the student taking it is eligible for the college credit. If they score a 3 or higher on the exam, they are suitable for college credits. AP is an excellent way to help prepare students for college, but there are a few things that could be improved with it. The main one is the exam takes place in the Spring semester. Students who take their AP course in the fall semester have to wait until the spring to take the exam. Students who take the AP course in the spring have until May to prepare for the exam. 

    Fall semester students will most likely forget all the information they learned by the time the exam comes. Students are responsible for studying and preparing for the exam, but it´ll be much easier if there is an exam in the fall and spring semesters. The exam can occur in the first week of December before state testing starts. It will be much easier for the students who take AP in the fall if the AP exam is in the fall semester. That way, it will be over with along with the class and the students won´t stress more over it when in the spring semester. If there are 2 AP exams, one in the fall and one in the spring, students will have the same time to prepare for the exam. Spring students have all of the spring semester, and fall students have all of the fall semester.
