If they are classes on topics that interest them, they sure can be more
fun. By they time our senior year came around, the only class that
directly gave college credit was Senior English and it was not known for
being fun.
OTOH, if you took other honors and above level classes and might have learned
enough to earn some credits, you could then take the AP tests. I tested out
of college history that way. OTOH, another test I took turned out to be
one that the local uni wouldn't honor the credits for because it would have
meant testing out of 6 hours worth of classes which cut into their profits.
IIRC, that was also English.
