[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people are reporting that their kids are taking 10+, 15, and even 20 AP classes. How is this possible? I am looking at my rising 9th grader's schedule and I don't see how you can pack more than about 10 AP classes? They can only take 1 AP class in 9th grade and you can't take, say, AP Biology, from the getgo.[/quote]

None allowed in 9th but 1/3 of the sophomores take an AP and the ones already in AP calc have a second. Junior year : almost half the grade has 3 APs, the top 1/4 has 5 (APphys 1, calc, Apush, AP lang, and an elective such as Gov or a second AP science or econ). Senior yr top 1/4 is in multivariable calc and linear algebra (post AP taught at the school by a phD), AP lit, AP foreign language, a second (or third) AP science, and an elective can also be AP though there is a senior civics seminar required. the top 1/3 or so students take six core courses 10th-12th plus one elective (arts) , most of these take AP or honors for all of these. 10-12 total is commonplace. Which AP courses are selected accounts for the difference in strength of schedule. AOs look at courses not number of APs. 8 of the hardest is better than 10 mostly weak ones
