[quote=Anonymous]My DC took 10 APs (this was in MCPS) and got credit for all of them (over a year of credit). He started in mostly 200 level classes as a freshman. Plus he had a better sense of what he might be interested in because he had taken a range of high level classes already. The AP classes he took in HS were good classes with engaged students and great teachers. What's not to like about that? They were challenging but not overly so. He did take all the tests so that was about $800 in fees over 4 years but if he decides to graduate a semester early that saves more than $30,000. Even if he doesn't graduate early the $800 in fees was worth it. I know the College Board offers reduced prices for the tests at certain income levels, and some schools offer financial support for testing fees if the test costs are really an issue.[/quote]
