[quote=Anonymous]Some AP's have had their curriculum diluted in recent years. My DD took Psychology in 11th grade in 2024. It was very information heavy, so there's hundreds of terms to memorize. This past year, her AP Psych teacher told her that 30% of the material had been removed from the syllabus. Some AP's are not getting easier and that is down the the face that the material is already challenging (AP Physics (in its various forms) / Calculus BC / Chinese / other non-Romance languages). What we discovered was that the admissions people at Oxford and Cambridge Universities were aware of this shift and they changed their admissions criteria accordingly. To get an offer you still need an academic interview / testing / a solid application and references, but you also need a MINIMUM of 5 AP exams at 5 in relevant subjects. It used to be very recently that 3 exams at 5 were the minimum.[/quote]
