with no AP classes? would the exams help?[/quote]
No. There is no reason to self-study and take AP exams outside of school unless your child wants/needs credit or placement for them. Or for the handful of schools that are test-flexible and accept AP scores instead of SAT/ACT. Colleges care about taking the highest rigor available - if that’s honors for your HS, that’s great. [/quote]Colleges recognize going above and beyond what is available.[/quote]
Proof of this?  FWIW I only know of a fews kids from our public magnet HS that tried this self study thing.  Based on results, I don't think it helped. [/quote]Why would colleges give points for doing sports outside of school sanctioned teams, and other activities outside of what the school offers, including things like olympiads, but not do the same for AP exams?[/quote]
Because they can?  What makes you think they "give points" for those doing sports outside of school?  IMO a kid's time would be better spend on activities (e.g olympiads) that cramming for extra AP tests.    [/quote]
