[quote=Anonymous]At DS’s Magnet HS I’ve heard that many kids take around 10 AP exams including 5 or 6 in 11th grade. My kid has decided to “only “ take 4 exams in 11th grade because he wants to take Magnet electives rather than more generic AP classes and does not want to self study for too many exams. On the one hand his AP exam load will not compare favorably with his peers (the program sends a profile with information on how many kids take each AP exam and how they do eg 60 students took AP X, 45 got a 5 etc). On the other hand, I am going to hope that colleges look at the whole picture and see a kid doing well taking tough and interesting classes. It has become such an arms race and I want to support my kid’s push for sanity. [/quote]
