[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is DC a junior? I think this could be fairly tough. While AP tests are not that hard to pass, it’s not a piece of cake to get a 5, and the kids in humanities AP classes spend a lot of time during the year practicing how to structure their essays for the test.

Obviously it’s easier if DC is taking comparable classes during the school year. But to get 5s on four (?) APs is going to require a lot of prep, both in the subject and specific to the APs [/quote]

OP here. DC is a sophomore right now. At this stage interested in psychology but that could change. Thinking of doing 2 or 3 APs and hoping to schedule so mirror a course they are doing at school. Eg APUSH this year as they are doing honours US history at school this year.

Why do you suggest need to do 4 APs and score 5 in each? [/quote]

I thought that was the requirement.  My son is considering applying. I just checked and it’s five 5s, or fewer with a certain SAT score.

Psychology is a very easy AP from what I hear.[/quote]
