[quote=Anonymous]How old are you? I graduated almost 30 years ago and I took at least 7 APs, although only took 4 of the exams. I think they are good - it's a standardized curriculum that is pretty challenging, and so a good quality control on HS classes. There's also a focus on trying to think about and analyze the topic, not just memorize facts. One of my teachers was on the exam board for one subject and she was awesome. WHether it makes sense for your kid to take AP classes is a whole different question. It might make sense if they are going to a big state school, where it's helpful in getting certain prerequisites out of the way and helping you to graduate in 4 years. [/quote]
