[quote=Anonymous]If there is no cost to you, or if you can afford it, I would encourage her kid to take the exam. High schools are typically measured against' performance on AP Exams. The college board keeps metrics on high schools, and the number of students that take each test versus the number of students that pass. Schools with better scores get incentives. teachers at my sons private school help read/score AP tests and one actually co-wrote questions for the official CB study guide. Also exam scores and pass rate help the school gauge how well they are teaching and preparing students for the test, and how effective they are at determining which students are able to take certain AP classes. Some high schools could receive recognitions from state boards based on their AP programs. This is also used in US News and Great Schools and more legitimate rankings. [/quote]
