It would seem so.

I took the AP exam quite a while ago. (11 years now, yikes)
My school also didn't really have an AP class, but a few of us wrote the test, and it was extremely easy for all of us as I remember. (though it was not java back then)

The university I went to (Alberta) let me skip a boring intro cs course (and sit through the second boring intro cs course ;) ) because of it, so it was worth it, though I didn't get any credits.

Rarely, if ever, is life that hopeless, young Jedi. Find out what your options are and make a plan.

Damn. Essentially I'm taking APCS for no reason, then. I could ace the A exam if you gave it to me this very instant.

Thanks, and that's what I tried/am trying to do ATM [smile]. But enough high jacking [wink], I have my own thread over here: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=554428

It's nice to know others have had success in the past with similar endeavors. I also ordered a book with that gift card to help so hopefully I can get a roll on with learning and earn some college credit if possible :)
