[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I am not a fan of the AP format.  It's a lot of unnecessary pressure on a single test.  We use them for my kid mainly to filter her classmates.  I don't worry about whether or not she passes the actual AP tests.  If she does, awesome.  If not, it's not the end of the world.  Now that she will be driving soon, I'm going to push for her to do more dual enrollment courses instead.[/quote]

Dual enrollment is a great idea. She will be exposed to professors and classmates she will never encounter in high school. Also, she may be able to take advantage of internships only available to students enrolled at the university. [/quote]

Yeah she's planning on majoring in Legal Studies and then going to Law school.  She is just a sophomore right now but she has a part time job lined up at a local law office starting this summer.  She basically just needs AP classes to knock out the core classes in undergrad.[/quote]

Whatever she does, have her major in something useful other than "legal studies." History, economics, literature, basically anything other than a made up program like "legal studies." She can always take some of those classes as electives and will be in much better shape for law school. [/quote]
