Can AP exams substitute a year of university?

Is it out of the question to go to summer school? a lot of my advanced peers are failing AP english and are going to summer school to make that up. One guy who is an extremely good athlete is going to summer school for 5/7 classes, but its probably just because they need him for the football team.

I see, good point mathwonk, I guess it is better to not skip courses. Also, your mathematician thread is really good. I'll definitely remember it for future reference.

@tycon69: Well, summer school is an option for only 1-2 courses here in Canada, and even then it is penalized on your transcript similar to or worse than a repeated course as far as I know.

Thank you everyone for the good responses!
