[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the county doesn't pay and it's left up to parents, some parents won't pay - especially if they believe their child won't pass with a 3 on the AP exam and have a chance to receive college credit.[/quote] GOOD! We should not be wasting money for kids who have no chance/desire to pass to take the exam. If a student doesn't believe they can get at least a 3 on the exam, they have no business taking it. As for financial need, there will still be fee waivers, just like their are for the TJ test, school sports, etc.[/quote] Can't speak to how Fairfax would handle fee waivers but in MCPS we pay for all the AP/IB tests and there are no fee waivers. Some schools do provide financial aid for the fees but it comes out of privately raised funds. Definitely affects participation rates.[/quote]
