[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's a normal amount of AP courses for a student to take?

Looking at my IB student's projected track, they will take 4-5 college-level courses over the course of their four years in high school. (AP government sophomore year, then 3-4 higher-level classes). I don't intend any attack here; I'm just curious if AP students generally take more or if this is similar.

I grew up with AP in FCPS, but I don't have any problems with IB. The big thing about it is that parents use it as a means to transfer from one school to another.[/quote]

DD graduated some years ago.  Began college as an academic sophomore.  9 AP classes gave her the credit.  Of course, you have to score well in order to get that credit.  
I think students can take more than that now.  And, she would have if she could have.  I don't think AP was available to freshmen and sophomores then.

Of course, there are lots of kids who do not take that many.  When she was there, I don't think they had any available to freshmen and sophomores.

Her roommate in college had an IB diploma.  She did not get near the credit that DD did.  [/quote]
