[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. Apex is no RMIB though.[/quote]

No dispute there, but the PP said that 10-16 was typical at their "local W School."  I think that is hyperbole.  [/quote]
I’m PP and I said 10-16 APs was typical at RMIB. It’s not hyperbole. My kid is a recent graduate and took 16 AP tests in addition to 7 IB . Why? Because they enjoyed the courses and felt APs were easier to get college credit at more schools.

And since someone is going to ask:
AP - English Lang, English Lit, Spanish Lang, Gov, USHistory, Mod World, BC Calc (w/AB subscore), Statistics, physics C mech & EM, chemistry, enviro
All of those were associated with a class.
Self studied AP Psychology, Macro, Micro and Human Geo. (Macro, micro and human geography are strong overlaps of background knowledge from history and math.)
IB HL - English, math, chemistry 
SL - ESS, Spanish, history, & philosophy (?)[/quote]

Wow, impressive number of AP classes!
I did not think it would be possible. It is not typical at all. Some like your child have done it, but not typical.
It is more like 6IB+9AP as being typical as my high-performing child has done. DC has done well in science competition and a sport. 
Studying for 6-7 dditional AP materials outside of school sounds a bit too much.
