What % of people finish?

When I was in highschool, I had no idea AP courses could get you college credit. I thought they were just harder versions of normal courses, which sounded dumb to me. I didn't learn about CLEPs until I was in the service.

Actually, the first time I went to my local CC to do a CLEP, they were doing college tours for newcomers from highschool and as they passed me I heard him talking about how you can also do CLEPs at the testing center to save lots of time and money by testing out of courses and I saw most of the students rolling their eyes.

Your high school didn't tell you that AP courses get an extra point? For example, an "A" in an AP course is worth five credits instead of four.

Correct. They never told me. I heard second hand from another student halfway through my senior year. I did take a few Dual Enrollment courses but if I'd known about AP, I probably could have finished a year of college before finishing HS.
