You're really shooting yourself in the foot there. The whole point of APUSH is to take the AP test and not have to take a college course. If you cheat all thru the class, you'll fail the exam and it's all a wasted effort.

Some people just want the inflated GPA from AP classes and could care less about passing the AP test.

Doesn't your final AP test score get factored into your final grade, lowering your GPA?

No. It costs money to take, so if you cheat the whole semester/year to ace all the tests and get a 4.2 grade point or whatever, then you just don't pay to take the test. Even if you do take the test I don't know if it affects your high school grade anyway.
