Well @ lvl 31 it cost's 21 ap to study an hour, steal sports car is a 21 ap crime.

Here is five months worth of my averages for steal sports crime:
$694.19
$669.61
$706.07
$643.85
$686.92

the average is $680.13

So using the political science class which costs 100k (50k enroll, 50K test)

@ 2% gain a day (guessing) studying 8 hours means 1h=.25%

So it takes about 392 Hrs or 49 days to reach a 98% complete.

So 392 (amount of steal sports cars instead of studying)
multiplied by $680.13(steal sports car avg)=$266,610.96+100k(enroll/test cost) = a possible gain of $366,610.96

Class Gains 250 end (1000 credits) 250 int (1000 credits) 25 rep (politics 625cp) and 125 WE (politics 179cp),

The 2000 credits alone @ $250ea is worth $500,000. So i would guess I would say it is worth it to do. Of course this changes if you're a higher level investing more ap, and also if you're willing to drop the $20 real dollars for 2300 credits.
