[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted here before. I have a dd at Harvard. She took 17 APs (went to a public HS) National AP scholar of course. Private schools don't have the budget to have 2 tracks and offer 23 AP classes. And, you have to post your scores on AP classes on college app. Privates don't want their kids compared to kids who score higher. So just don't offer them. Problem solved.

You have been bought. AP exams is a corrupt Billion $$ business and those that are actually intelligent won't play their BS game anymore.

AP Tests are not easy.  I don’t put my kids in them for the credit though that’s nice. It’s a way to gauge the rigor of the classes my DD is taking. 100 dollars is a small price to pay for verification of the quality of her school.[/quote]

Not a good test of quality of coursework. More an indicator of quantity of info exposed to and recognition of need/willingness to write to a formula.  [/quote]
