[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Starting AP in 8th and 9th grade is unnecessary, and could come back to haunt your student if they get a lower score than they would if they took it later in high school. [/quote] She got a 5 in AP World History and a 4 in AP Environmental Science in 8th grade so she's doing OK[/quote] Good for her, but it's no wonder colleges are devaluing the AP curriculum. These are supposedly college level courses.[/quote] New poster here. I have an 8th grader whose 7th grade ACT score was higher than either of his high school cousins and good enough to get him into many SLACs. He could do college level courses right now and would not be out of his depth. Not all kids (or college students) operate at the same level. If a younger student is capable of college-level work, that doesn’t mean the work isn’t college-level by virtue of the fact that a non-college student may be advanced enough to handle it. [/quote]
