[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is in middle school, and you are worried about AP exams?[/quote]

Less than 10 months for HS.  Am I too early?

He has done well in studies and likely to take AP courses. That's why I thought to ask here. [/quote]

No, you are not too early.

Given the publicized cheating scandals of the past few years, the CollegeBoard may error on the initial deny/need more info/appeal side of things which adds time to the process.     As you may read in the regular board on here, many parents feel that others are gaming the system for more time, so it's incumbent on the CB to thoroughly review.

DS has extended time in his IEP, yet the CollegeBoard initially denied the request for extended time when submitted by his school counselor and asked for a lot of justification (that the school had not provided) regarding start-of-time diagnosis, evals, etc.    There is an appeal process and it went smoothly, but that added time onto the schedule which we had not anticipated in advance of the PSAT testing (and yes as a pp notes, once you have the CB approval, you are set for their umbrella of testing).[/quote]
