[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not true. AP tests are for college credit. They add little value for admission. In our district, the tests are around $100-$150 to take. Many kids are opting out due to cost and not qualifying for a fee reduction. Maybe it is school specific but this is the info we got from the school counselor.[/quote] wrong. More elite schools are looking fondly upon a kid that gets all 5s. Now with test optional and grade inflation they are looking at them as a sign of college readiness. Georgetown used to require SAT subject tests. Now the AP exam scores can provide valuable information. With US pass rates of only 20% on may subjects, a kid scoring 5s across the board is a very strong applicant and speaks to the fact his course grade 'A' wasn't an inflated 'A'. NYU even lets you submit a certain # of AP scores instead of ACT/SAT.[/quote] That’s good if you want to go test optional but this kid already has a high ACT[/quote]
