[quote=Anonymous]In no particular order: 1. AP classes vary in difficulty. AP Gov, for examples, is a semester class, but it is stretched across the year for MCPS so it will be a "lighter" AP (and that's why most take in 9th grade). 2. The age/maturity of a HS student is different than a college student (in theory anyway) so a class can seem more difficult in HS than college because students are young and learning. 3. Classes meet on different schedules in HS than college. I remember thinking the actual work and standards for grading were harder in college (T10), but there was so much more time to do the work. 4. Depends on the college/subject matter. DCs are both STEM kids and I can assure you that their AP classes in high school were significantly easier than what they are doing in college. They are at very selective schools so perhaps their experience would be different at Eastern Alabama or whatever. [/quote]
