I'm sure that's partly why they don't take any inconsistency.

In addition, students who do cheat on an AP test could fail the higher level classes based on the AP classes (e.g., Calculus 3 or organic chemistry), having to re-take those courses and requiring summer school or extra semesters of enrollment (i.e., more money for the colleges, not less).
