[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Uh, APs are standardized tests, so the standardized test methodology is probably not the problem. 5s are good, although meaningless for admissions. Not everybody gets 2100s but most kids do improve a bit between their first SAT and their retake. Is your DC a junior? Juniors haven't taken the real PSATs yet. Or is DC a senior, in which case DC should have taken the SAT last spring?[/quote] First, please stop with the "Uh." Thank you. Not that PP, but APs can help with college admissions if you get 5s and send them in. We know kids who have done this, including one who was accepted at Yale last spring. That's what DD plans to do. In fact, DD is applying to some elite colleges DD where the APs probably won't get her out of any classes, so the point of taking AP classes is (a) to show the colleges you're taking the toughest classes, and (b) to send in your 5s.[/quote]
