[quote=Anonymous]We still have a few years to go for college as I have an 8th grader who is applying for high schools. Several of the top private schools in the area have stopped offering AP classes and have opted instead for their own rigorous version of AP classes (which they claim to go even beyond the AP level). If your child went to one of these schools, how did that affect their college outcomes? I have heard that many students still take the AP exam and get outside tutoring to study for them. That seems excessive honestly and I don't know if I'd want my child to be under the pressure to study for 2 separate curricula for every advanced class. So to summarize : Is taking the AP exam necessary? If your child did not take the AP exam, was that negatively regarded by colleges? I'd love to hear your thoughts as that would be an important determining factor as we choose high schools. Thank you in advance[/quote]
