Savings:

Typically it costs 30 to 50 thousand dollars per year if the student stays on campus in USA for one year. These are typically the tuition fees taking a four year course to cost about 150000 to 200000 dollars.

If the student saves around 1 years by appearing for AP external exams and earning equivalent credits, he can save up to 30 credits worth or first year tuition which can be up to 30000 dollars.

Furthermore if he decides to take 2 year equivalent courses online, he saves another 60000 to 80000 dollars  bringing down the cost of the whole undergraduate degree.

The added advantage is a degree from overseas which would be slightly more marketable all around the globe.

Time saved is also money well earned. A minimum of 2 to 4 semester’s time is saved by this method. These valuable funds and time can be used to earn a decent Masters Degree.
