[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]since the kids take Magnet Physics and Chemistry as well as Computer Science A/B in 9th grade, do they take AP exams in any of those at the end of 9th grade?[/quote] Those science courses aren't aligned with APs, so you'd need to do a lot of self-study if you plan on taking APs for those subjects. Also, the Intro CS course isn't comparable to AP Computer Science Java. Some students can place out of a semester of the intro class, so they could start the magnet equivalent a semester early, but they wouldn't finish until the middle of their 2nd year.[/quote] None of the Blair magnet courses are aligned with APs. But I got the impression that students were well placed to take the AP exam with some of them (because the course went beyond the AP curriculum). Does that mean that the 9th grade courses just aren’t ones that cover much AP content? (But others are?)[/quote]
