[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my children took enough to gain sophomore status and graduate a semester earlier than they would have without them. It was certain worth it for our family.[/quote]

During my junior year I took a handful, and my worst Ap test...was the one that wasn’t accepted st my desired Univ anyway... so for senior year, I researched ahead of time. My desired univ didn’t accept one of my senior AP options. So I took all Ap except for that one class, which was an easy A.

Got into my university(!) and skipped sooo many courses by having the credit already in my transcript.

All in all, between1 sophomore year Ap, I took 6 Ap, and had 5 count towards college credit. [/quote]

Similar here for our oldest. She knocked out a lot of basic liberal arts pre-reqs (english lit, comp sci, history, hard science). Her school required a score of 5s and took about 10 AP classes total. Half did not make sense for what our daughter intended to major in. So it was not nutsville, but was helpful for allowing her to double major in Chinese and Econ plus do a study abroad all in 4 years. This was Boston College. [/quote]
