[quote=Anonymous]Just my opinion, it's the most rigorous that your child can handle successfully. Now, "successfully" may be in the eye of the beholder. I knew a woman whose daughter took no Honors or AP because she could not risk getting less than an "A." No matter that colleges want rigorous classes, this child was obsessed with getting A's. It made no difference to her that she could not get into the more competitive colleges--the child had some kind of obsession that would not allow the risk. If your child want to get into a competitive college, then she should take as many as she can handle. But, you want her to get good grades, too. Only you and your child can figure out how motivated she is and what is reasonable for her. FWIW, there are students who take almost all AP --including very rigorous ones.[/quote]
