[quote=Anonymous]I see no point in taking AP exams unless you will be trying to get credit and graduate early from college. Some of the most highly selective colleges won't even take it, unless it is an extremely unusual situation and they will still require a student to be there for all 8 semesters. 
I don't want my kids to graduate from college early. We, like 75% of private school parents in this area pay full tuition and plan to do so for college as well. I want them to take as many interesting college courses as possible for the full four years. It is the only time in one's life to do so!
If my child was in a different situation I would definitely see the point of AP exams and trying to get college credit, but otherwise the tests are meaningless. The course grades matter for college admissions, not the AP test scores, one is not even required to take or submit AP tests scores(unlike IB programs). My child is taking them because they are required to at their high school ( not one listed above) and I told them to do their best but not stress  about the test, just focus on their grade in the class.[/quote]
