[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't know of any college that requires the taking of APs (in part because not every school offers AP courses). They require the SAT II tests (and generally only about 2-3), and the APs are optional; if there is duplication that is because students choose to take the APs.[/quote] This should be obvious. No, not every high school offers AP classes. But competitive colleges want to see that a kid has taken the "most rigorous/challenging" classes in his/her school. If the high school offers AP calculus in addition to honors calculus, then the kid who wants to go to a competitive college takes AP Calculus AB or B/C. This is how many kids who apply to competitive colleges end up taking both AP Calculus test and an SAT math subject test. Sorry to be short, but you seem to be playing dumb.[/quote]
