[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think 2/3 deserve college credit for high school work?  Not everyone is exceptional at all things.[/quote]
I don’t. But aside from signaling to colleges, [b]getting college credit is literally the whole point of taking the test[/b]. Most school systems don’t pay for the tests, so kids are paying $100+ on tests they never should’ve taken in the first place. My kid took a couple practice tests to understand the scoring. They put “A” for every multiple choice question-THAT got a 1. [/quote]

Not true. We knew it would help our kid when they got to college. Kid is not skipping courses in their major. Kid has gotten 4.0s every semester in a stem field at a large state u and says high school with all the ap classes was harder. [/quote]

Reading is fundamental. I said getting credit (for people not looking to signal to top schools on common app) is the core reason why people [b]take the test[/b]. [i]Not[/i] necessarily the class. [/quote]

Maybe but my kid knew his chosen college didn’t give credit but still took the test. It was a challenge for him. He wanted to see how he did.

Also his HS read about 8-9 books in AP Lit this year. [/quote]
