[@NarayanK]Sorry, bit of a unrelated question, but what are AP tests?
[/quote]

AP tests (aka. Advanced Placement tests) are tests you usually take before college (mostly everyone who takes them are usually around high school age). To sum it up easily, it tests to see if you are specifically prepared for certain college courses and gives you a chance to pass its requirements. If you get a high enough score, you can actually skip the college courses that you tested for.

I'm taking AP classes that prepare me for the AP tests; for example, since I don't want to take English Literature & Composition in college, I'm preparing to take the English Literature & Composition AP test via the AP class programs available at my school. I'm also taking AP AB Calculus, AP US History, and AP Government, all of them in May (like everyone else testing for the AP test). AP classes and tests are around college-level, so it can eat up a lot of time.

In my case, I'm honestly pretty good at English (got max points for my essay scores on both my SAT and ACT), and my other course grades are just at the bare minimum for me to get an auto-admission for Texas A&M Engineering.

I hope that clarifies some things!
