[quote=Anonymous][quote]I do get the SAT II for kids who aren't in AP for whatever reason, and I can see how it's useful for comparing kids from different schools. My gripe is with the colleges who are already getting the APs but also want the SAT II subject tests in the same subjects. . . . I'm not against testing per se, but I'm against duplicative testing. FWIW, DD took her first AP last year and got a 5, so does think the subject tests will be a cakewalk after the APs. It just seems like a waste of time, because it's not giving colleges anything they don't already have for kids who are submitting AP scores, and this is what makes me think, with the other PP, that it's a big money racket. That's all.[/quote] Agree 100% and don't get why colleges continue to require such redundancy. Curious that a greater number of other colleges (albeit not top tier colleges) are going test optional--where no standardized tests are required. [/quote]
