[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A lot of the big state schools still give credit and placement but the more selective schools are giving less than they used to. Go to the websites of any top 20 or 25 schools and they have it spelled out. A kid in our neighborhood transferred from a big state school to UVa. The state school had given him sophomore status because of his many 5s on AP exams, but UVa gave much less credit, with most of it being elective credit. AP courses today are just not meeting the standards of the more selective schools. [/quote] There are private schools (and some public) opting to no longer offer AP classes (see: WSJ article -- http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB110116734597581331 ) and FCPS could omit both AP and IB, cut down the stress levels, omit all the testing fees, skip all the high school curricular transfer/student placement, and better plan for and use facilities, all by omitting AP (and IB).[/quote]
