I'm not the PP you are responding to, but many of these professions don't actually require much math beyond the calculus sequence. Someone who wants to become a biochemist or a medical researcher really doesn't need advanced math. They are probably better off taking a broad range of advanced science and statistics classes. In looking at TJ's course catalog, I would personally advise my own kid to skip a lot of the AP classes in favor of what seem to be vastly more interesting "elective" science classes.[/quote]

She did say she was going into engineering program which requires advanced math. Also, [b]one can possibly save 1 year of college with sufficient AP classes saving lot of college expenses. I am not sure that would be possible with 4 or 5 APs.[/quote][/b]

I would not advise my kids to do this. I can afford college because I've been saving since my kids were babies.  There is a value to taking these courses again in college.  In my experience, the students who tested out had problems in the higher levels.[/quote]

Maybe they were not top TJ graduates.[/quote]
