Throughout the next two weeks, 547 Legacy students will test to qualify for college credit in 30 various Advanced Placement, or AP, subjects, ranging from Government and Politics to Spanish Literature.

“I think it is wonderful, and shows that we have a lot of academically motivated students,” Secretary Nicole Kidd, who processed the AP registration forms, said.

Roughly $35,000 was handed over to the bookkeeper to register for AP tests. The fee to take one exam is $86, with additional exams getting cheaper.

“I’ve always taken as many AP classes as I could,” senior Brandon Kamphaus said. “The college credit is a nice bonus.”

Kamphaus will take a total of six tests during testing weeks, covering Government, Calculus BC, English Literature, Physics B, Chemistry and Macroeconomics. He will know how many he passed when the Collegeboard releases scores during the summer.

“The classes are tremendously more beneficial than the concurrent TCC enrollment, and in reality push students further,” Kamphaus said.
