[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s a STEM kid, one motivation for working hard Senior year may be to place out of various intro classes (or into honors versions).[/quote]
You rarely place out of classes at top schools. APs not accepted for credit at many/most.[/quote]

My kid did (Calc BC, Physics C, Chem, and French). Sometimes it’s via an internal placement test, but it’s knowledge gained through taking AP classes. Credit isn't the issue — placement is.  [/quote]
My kid got a 5 on the AP Biology exam and she didn't get credit OR advanced placement BUT she breezed through bio 1 her freshman year of college because of her great preparation in AP bio. Most of what was taught she'd already learned, and [b]she had lots of experience doing labs/writing reports[/b] and so as a result she was able to get a great grade and not be weeded out like many kids were. So even though she didn't get credit or placement she is still very glad she actually paid attention and worked hard during that class because it did have a benefit. [/quote]

Don't most college bound high school students have experience doing labs & wrong lab reports? My  classmates & I started doing labs & writing lab reports every week when we were in 9th grade.  [/quote]
