[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not all about the college credit, people! If the student is going pre-med in college, or otherwise a serious science students in college, they aren't going to want to - necessarily - skip the intro college class[/quote]

Of course they would, if they had a true AP-level class in high school.

I was pre-med, and I AP'd out of the intro biology and intro chemistry classes, which allowed me to take more advanced classes which, in any case, were more interesting.

If you're a serious science person, all the more reason to launch into more advanced (and usually more interesting) advanced classes earlier on, so that you can take things you are actually interested in with others who have a deeper interest in the subject than people who are taking a class to fulfill a requirement or for pre-med.

Most top schools do not accept the AP credit fyi.

But it's good to take rigorous classes in high school - it means that you are already working on a high level which is needed at a top level university.

Your son also sounds a bit like my DD - naturally smart and maybe not needing to study a ton to get a good grade. This won't fly at a good college as you will need to fight with other smart kids for top grades. It's better to learn this in high school rather than in college. So - let him figure out for himself how to keep up with AP Chemistry. [/quote]
