[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all colleges will except them for credit OR placement. Kids don't necessarily take an AP class for grade inflation as someone said but to take the most challenging classes a school offers. AP tests are expensive, and you may feel like you are sick of giving the college board $, but it is good practice for your kid to take longer tests, and as others have said it is helpful for your high school - both as feedback for the teacher for future test takers - and it helps in marketing the school to prospective families. [b]Although at our school since kids are required to take the test if they took the AP class, some just put their heads on the desk for the entire test and take a nap.[/b] So in the end, I guess it doesn't even necessarily help the school.[/quote] And parents wonder why their kids high schools aren't so well ranked on the Washington Post or US News rankings, which factor in how many students pass AP exams.
