Re: To go to Championships...or not....

If you're smart enough to really place out of a college class, the AP exam will be a breeze, and, even if you could get a 4 or 5 on an AP exam, you'll still want to take the classes again in college to get an easy A and to reinforce your academic fundamentals.

Also...

FIRST championships are usually a once- or twice-in-a-lifetime event for most students, and if your team has the ability to go, you should. School is important, but it's just an AP exam, and it should not prevent your team from participating in something as exhilarating, enjoyable, and unique as a FIRST championship.
