[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why would you take DE English? [/b]Just do AP. It’s the standard accepted choice that will keep your options open. [/quote] OP here. I have absolutely no idea which is why I am asking. Where I am in Loudoun, both AP and DE get the 1.0 grade bump. A lot of BTDT parents recommend DE because you get 6 credits (3 per semester) vs. 3 credits with AP, and you don't have to take (and score well on) the AP exam. Most of these kids seem to go to non UVA/WM Virginia state schools. Maybe that is why. But as I was sort of gathering, people still view AP as "more rigorous." But I was confused because so many parents seem to push DE. At least for now, my daughter wants to remain on the "most rigorous" path to keep her options open. She took 2 APs this year and got A's but obviously we don't have her test scores yet (but will soon.) Thanks all. [/quote]
