How is the elimination of APs going for your DC

Circling back to this as we received AP scores today. Student is at one of the DMV privates not offering APs and got 4s/5s with little extra study.
At the very least, I suggest everyone take the English Lang and English Lit, Calc AB/BC and world language APs spring of their senior year to potentially earn credits for college, place out of intro classes or get better course sign-up times. Will also add English Lit tip--your student doesn't have to read all the books suggested. As long as they've read a few classics from which they can pull from for an essay they'll be fine. My oldest kid didn't take this test thinking they would have needed to have read more of the suggested books, but the DMV privates will have read plenty of books to pull from read in the normal course of classes. |

| Agree with the above. My "Big3" kid took the exams and ended up with 28 credit hours and now has a lot of flexibility in terms of choosing courses. college board be damned, it's a game worth playing. |
