[quote=Anonymous]My kids took AP tests even though their privates didn’t offer APs to place out of foreign language, writing 1 and calc 1 and 2 in college. College Calc 2 is harder than high school AP BC and if they aren’t pursuing further math or conversely have very high math mastery, why would they want to take it again? Same for foreign language. For my kids colleges, AP credits in general will also count toward the year they are in school. This comes in handy to be able to take upper division courses normally reserved for juniors and seniors early—makes it easier to fit in a minor. My kids barely studied for the APs exams and got all 4s/5s—their DMV private courses sufficiently prepared them. Their math teachers even hosted mini-review sessions. So for $500-600 for their AP exams taken at MOCO publics, my kids got credit for 5-6 college courses which was totally worth it. [/quote]
