[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again - I see lots of comments about AP tests being used to place out of college classes. I get that. What about the AP test scores being used in admissions as a sign of rigor or academic qualification? I guess that's the question behind my question. [/quote] I have one public and one private child. My public school child has loaded up on APs since 10th grade. He never bothered to take the exams. It was only used as a tool to show rigor and pump up his weighted GPA. He was accepted Columbia. He basically got into all his top schools. Im probably going to pull my middle schooler for public high school and follow the same strategy. [/quote]
