[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care, but my kid's high school offers them and colleges expect them. Most colleges don't give you any credit for them, with a few exceptions. The only time one of my kids received college credit was when he/she did HISCIP and took two classes at Georgetown senior year. Both classes (6 credits) were transferable. [/quote] Huh. My neighbors kid graduated a year early due to AP classes she took at her fcps high school.[/quote] Same here - my kid got all the basic classes done by getting 4s or 5s on her AP tests (history, english lit, calc AB, CS, biology, Chemistry), then did a double major (for language and econ/stats) and two study abroads (London, Japan). She took more APs than those but didn't sit for the tests as they weren't necessary for any of the college programs she was applying to. [/quote]
