I went straight into 2d and 3rd year courses. I used the extra time to take some fun courses in science and engineering. The other benefit was that I learned to manage my time and how to study. Kids taking it easy will have a MUCH harder time in college. A string of 5's in all your AP classes is not that hard to accomplish, but it does take a lot of work. It is a worthy goal.
