Should You Take Dual Enrollment or AP Exams?

Miss Chen, should I take dual enrollment or the AP exam? — If you're looking to pursue more selective schools, you should focus on scoring four or five on the AP exam since College Board exams are nationally recognized. A five in AP biology means the same thing in California as it does in New York. On the other hand, dual enrollment credits are transferable mostly for instate universities since the difficulty of classes across the nation varies. If you plan on going instate and saving tuition costs, I recommend taking dual enrollment courses. — Thanks.
