As someone taking a whopping 5 at once, it can range from "OMFG, are you kidding me :O" to "Hey, this isn't too bad." It's really a matter of teachers- my government teacher could be a lot better (as refreshing as it is to hear someone admit to not knowing something, hearing them say that to almost everything is a bit disheartening at times) while you could have a friggin' awesome guy like my Calc teacher who knows his stuff and rocks. So...just like college? 
Some, if not most are total bullshit, though.
While AP tests are pretty expensive the fee waiver could you get a nice sum of $ lopped off.
Last but not least, it's interesting to note that my school actually ranks like 2nd in the nation or world, I can't remember which, at administering AP tests. So, it's not shocking 'round these parts to hear people actually bragging about them and how they take an ungodly sum of them, but we are disproportionately Asian

Somebody crunched the numbers a while back and found that a large percentage took APs.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
