Beginning May 4, all students at FHN are eligible to take an AP exam. Along with preparation for college, the exams provide students with other benefits as well.

    “[The AP exams] give you college credits which can help you get through freshman year faster,” junior Chelsea Abanathie said, “And in the long run, it could make college cheaper.”   
    Because these tests are so rigorous, extra time must be taken out to ensure success.
    “The students need a lot of preparation,” Bedsworth said. “They should take the AP class and do well in it because these are college level tests.”
    Although these tests can be very mentally enduing with all of the time taken out to study and prepare, the honor and reward of taking the class and test is one that is highly recommended.
    “[Take an AP class] because it’s fun,” English teacher Mary Baker said. “It is the next step of challenge and if students have been in honors classes, they should keep going to ease into college.”
