You mean they don't have those at college? [/quote]

Students who are less advanced before college do not have enough time in 4 years to take more advanced classes in college. [/quote]

Um, no - colleges often make students take their own versions of certain courses anyway.  And besides, what is the race headed towards?  Higher salary?  Grad school (when everyone works at their own pace anyway)?  To what extent is speed sacrificing depth and mastery?[/quote]

It actually goes (or went, mine's an alum) deeper than the 3 semester equivalent.  So, this makes no sense. Also,  any math dept, should be able to test kids. They usually break majors into pre reqs (Calc, mvc, Linear) and upper level, so even at schools that don't take APs, they should be able to test out of some pre reqs.

Kids need to do this for the love of math, though. Not any "get ahead" expectations. [/quote]
