[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of privates don't offer APs. It really simplifies things a lot for kids and reduces stress. I'm glad my kid doesn't have to deal with it. Worth the cost of tuition. And if I hear another smug parent go on and on about how special their kid is because they took 15+ APs - it is diminishing marginal returns at some point.[/quote]

Real privates don’t offer them at all.  They are useless.  Ironically, if you have a child applying to medical school some will ask, and have,[b] “Why did you not take the full sequence of your science at X college/university, your AP high school science program was better than your colleges?”  [/quote][/b]

This does not happen.

That said the second poster in the thread has it right. If they are the highest rigor classes at your HS you need to take them along with the exam. If your HS doesn’t offer them you are fine not taking them. It is all about taking advantage of what is available to your child.[/quote]
