Nice to meet you, Andy/Berzerker!  Welcome to x86. :)

It shows you have the initiative to contribute to the community. If you don't have the ability to answer questions about yourself, why would you even bother to contribute to the community, where you can hardly matter at first? :P

Welcome to the forums. Good luck in joining x86, if that's what you plan on doing. :P

Oh yeah, Berzerker = rich homo.

[Sidoh]

But like...favorite continent? Cmon newby...:P

If you look closely, you'll see it was iago who asked all of those questions! :)

Gah, I hate fine print. :(

I would also like to add I'm taking my first AP's nxt yr. :P

As almost everyone else here as learned: I come from a small school.  AP isn't offered here.  We have dual-enrollment college classes, which I have taken advantage of.  I cannot say which is the better program, but personally I don't like either.  I'm taking Honors Calculus (which has a curriculum defined by the teacher instead of some board of "advisers") this year and I've learned WAY more than I did in college trigonometry.

[Berzerker]

Well, I'm sure if I take as many AP's as I'm physically able to take, I can be more ready for college.

Not necessarily.  The AP program has a curriculum mandated by the state, which, obviously, has no way of seeing how intelligent the class is.  If some portion of the material is too difficult for the class, there's not much the teacher can do.  They have to move on in order to keep up with the curriculum.  If it's too slow, going on a tangent or studying a related topic could take too long.  I hate things like AP for this reason.

Welcome to the forums!!  And good luck on joining, which you have already tried to do. :)  Advise: Wait a little longer and get to know more people. :)

We have both at our school. :)  I have taken both, and I would have to say that, in my opinion, Dual-enrollment college classes are easier than AP classes. :D

That is completely dependant on the college that the school is using for their curriculum.  It also depends on how the AP council constructs their curriculum compared to the college; AP has to satisfy a more global population.

Beside this, I was arguing that non-mandated classes (ones that the teacher actually dictates the curriculum) are much better than dual-enrollment and AP.
