Pre-AP classes? I never had those. it was either normal, honors, or AP for me. Junior and Senior years were rough with a total of 12 AP classes. Needless to say though, freshman year of college was a breeze for me since the classes that my AP didn't transfer for were really easy since I already knew most of the material. So, as a AP Scholar with Distinction, stay the course Aegon. It WILL pay off, financially, and/or academically in college. Also, don't cram for the AP test the day before... it's miserable. Give yourself at least a week (a month for the subjects that you're not comfortable with. An hour a day is good.), and you should do fine.
