[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this play into the new Wilson HS AP for All policy?[/quote]

It might increase the number of students taking the exam and exposing the process to students who might not have thought it was an option. The college credits are largely trivial, many colleges don’t give much for high AP exam scores.[/quote]

I am curious about this comment because as a high school teacher many students come back and tell me they get out of lower level or core classes with their AP credits.[/quote]

There's a difference between credit (you can take fewer classes in college) and placement (you can take Bio 102 instead of starting with bio 101). But since this particular student knows what college he's going to and their specific policy, he doesn't need to guess.[/quote]

I know there is a difference between those two things.  And I know many students for whom both occurs with AP credits-  lots of kids get out of lower level classes and placed in 102 courses, and lots get out of core requirements (which would be the 101 classes).[/quote]
