TheInstitutes 312N is no longer valid...

I assumed AP exams were expensive. Is that not the case? I know you don't technically need to be a HS student to take them, but some places give push back on that. But I guess I never looked into pricing (unfortunately, my priorities in HS weren't on AP level studies )

$94 but no testing center fee while CLEP is $97 with testing center fee - so either way modern states is the way to go.

I think it's very hard to take AP exams if you're not a high school student - or even a student at the high school giving the exams like a homeschooled student.  The exams are during regular school hours, so schools get to determine who is on campus, and most say non-students are a no.

But, for my kids friends who will be taking AP exams, I'm telling them all to do Modern States.  $94 isn't cheap, and if you're doing multiple exams during that 2 week period (my son will probably do 4 per year starting next year), that's a boatload of cash.

I finished the Institutes a couple months ago and it's on my ACE transcript. I never sent my ACE transcript to TESU (waiting until everything is done to sent it once). I'm assuming it will still count. Guess I should email and pre-plan it into my degree for now just to make things easier. What is the TESU equivalency?

It's based in when you completed the course, you're good.
