Hi, I'm going into my junior year of high school and have not taken any AP courses. I'm planning to go to community college so I was wondering if I should take AP courses because I'm not sure and don't know who to ask to get an opinion. Thank you.

If you get a good score on the AP test for your class, it can exempt you from taking an equivalent college course. So, besides the benefit of a more challenging class, you get to use your college time for more classes you want to take.
You should talk to your counselor before making final decisions.
One thing my granddaughters learned, though, is that getting a score of 3 or better on an AP English exam can often exempt you from having to take the basic freshman English course. That might be true for math and science, too, but you would need to check that out with a counselor at the community college you plan to attend, to make sure.

Thank you both for your help. I really appreciate it.
