[quote=Anonymous]DD took one last year as a junior and is taking 5 more APs this spring from the best DMV private school not named in the title of this post. For the most part, the courses have not covered all of the material on the exam, so she's had to due supplemental studying to prepare, to varying degrees based on the course. The oft-expressed view on these boards is that the course cover less material but do so at a deeper level. I think it would take some serious comparative analysis to determine if that's actually the case or not. Still, 4s/5s would help DD place out of some of the non-major prerequisites for courses and free up more space for electives/additional coursework in the major. But very few people at her school take APs. For example, only 2 people sat for the Calc BC exam last year. I'm not sure it had any relevance to college applications, but, again, it's hard to provide solid evidence one way or another there.[/quote]
