[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IF you're applying to colleges outside of the US, including Canada, AP test scores can be significant in terms of admissions.

In the UK for instance, one requirement for Oxford or Cambridge universities is 5 x 5 scores. For other UK universities 3 x 5 scores or a combination of SAT / ACT and AP. [/quote]

What is 5 X 5 and 3 x 5?[/quote]

five scores of 5 or three scores of five (or one 5 plus four scores of 5).  Sometimes it depends on the major.  We did a lot of looking at University College London and the number of 4s and 5s offered by major.  There is a lot of information on the website.  There also are specfic course and scores required for some majors, these replace the Brith "A" levels, on which you may have to receive a certain score to be considered.[/quote]

Thanks!  We have a rising senior whose grades won't be great but has the opportunity to make things up with a strong showing in APs and SAT.  This might be an option.[/quote]
