Have you checked whether the AP credit will actually apply or not?

It will, if I get a 5.
MIT does not accept AP credit for science classes unless you pass the (almost impossible) advanced standing exam, but they do accept AP credit for HASS (Humanities, Art, and Social Sciences) classes only if you get 5 on the respective AP exams.

Have you checked the categories to which they apply and their limits? Some schools will limit the number of applied exams for a category of courses.

I haven't seen anything about limits. I'll have to check for that.
That makes sense; the schools don't want you to save too much money!

Or, of course, they do not want real-life examples of munchkins specifically taking exams for only the purpose of skipping valuable instructional time (because it is possible, given that there are no limits).

[I still think it's mostly for money. If they had no limits on how many advanced standing exams one can take, most Asians would be able to skip a year of college. ]

That remains true, but certainly, the AP exams are nothing compared to the courses potentially skipped (muahahahaha!), and the schools want to maintain academic prestige by making sure the students grasp the concepts well long after high school.

That's especially true of MIT. MIT teaches much more differently than some other colleges in that they focus on problem solving and critical thinking.

There is perfect hack-bait at my future school.

It consists of two trees that, "can," speak and sing.

[Have fun! ]

You mean, have fun figuring it out?
But I already gave up guessing what it is!

What you are supposed to do to incite a new rivalry is have someone hack the trees to continually say, "Mind and hand." A rivalry will keep the students unaware of my massive plot to conquer the world starting with the campus by utilizing the newly built classical supercomputer.

Good luck with that.

Indeed...

Oh bird wing, bird wing, how do I draw your plethora of plumage, your lot of layers, your fluttering flourish of feathers?

[Is that enough alliteration for you? ]

Why the sudden alliteration?

I need to take a class for math over the summer.
I just forget everything if I even go a few days without doing more complex math... and I really need to do well Junior and Senior years.
