Is there a problem that a person passes the course? Many students have taken AP tests when they were in high schools. In some schools, if students’ AP and SAT 2 subject test scores are good enough, colleges usually let them not to need to take those subjects in colleges. However, there are several problems about it. Universities should not let students not to take subjects related to their major. If it is not accomplished, students will not learn anything about their majors. Therefore, it is very important for students to study their majors to learn more about the program rather than just passing the courses due to the higher AP or SAT 2 subject test scores.
It is the problem that AP scores or SAT 2 replace the subjects related to major. For example, there are several students who already took AP and SAT 2 Biology and SAT 2 Math when they were in high school. When they get to colleges, they have to take biology and math because their major is biochemistry. However, their AP and SAT 2 math scores are really high, so colleges let them not to take biology and math in their colleges. Those students feel comfortable and become happy, but they think that they will not learn anything about biochemistry. When they became juniors, their subjects became much more difficult. So, they felt regretful and frustrated that they did not take biology and math. They know that they have to be good at their majors, but not taking major subjects makes problems.
It is important to take subjects relating to the major because students can learn materials mostly from their subjects and lectures. Therefore, even though students have excellent AP and SAT 2 scores, it is still good to take subjects relating to their majors rather than passing those subjects.
