I had such high test scores that I actually tested out of needing to take college level English classes. When I go to apply to graduate I was told that I didn’t have enough credits and I explained that’s because I didn’t need to take English. I was then informed you still need a certain amount of credits to graduate so while I didn’t need to take English I needed to take something. I was forced to take a bowling class over the weekends to make up the credits in time in order to graduate. You pay for each credit a class is worth so I felt like that was such a waste of money.

Too late now, but scoring high on AP tests in high school gives you transferrable credits.

I transferred 35 ap credits to college and it fucked me over so hard.  I didn’t get to take a lot of college level classes that I wanted to because “I had taken them already”. Didn’t want to take the more advanced classes because I was “only a freshman”… and by that point I went the wrong direction.

Screwed me over too, especially since I wasn't sure what I wanted to study and changed major.
