Are There Advantages To Taking the AP Exam Over Distance Calculus?
Many high schools reward students for taking AP Calculus and passing the AP Calculus exam via “extra grade points”, thus potentially inflating your G.P.A. beyond a “4.0”. Your high school may allow for this, others do not. You should check with your high school counselor to see if such “rewards” apply. Students who are seeking academic-based scholarships are keen to maximize their G.P.A. in all ways possible. If your high school provides for increasing your G.P.A. via taking AP-level courses and passing the AP exams, and you need to maximize your G.P.A. in this way, then it is obvious that you need to follow the AP course and exam path, rather than Distance Calculus.
