[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For parents whose kids have taken MV/Diff Eq/LA via HS, did your child receive college credit?

When they take the BC exam, if they score high enough, they get college credit at many schools.  MV et al are higher levels--how is credit handled if taken in HS?

I saw at RM (slide 39) that there is a test from UMD offered.  Do all MCPS schools that offer MV et al offer this test?

If no college credit is provided, would it be better to take the course as DE?[/quote]

My child graduated from RM and is at UMD now. I believe Blair also offers the UMD MVC test. I don't know about other high schools.

Not only did kid get credit for MVC, also got an A grade that transferred. Unlike DE, AP, IB; for that specific MVC test, the grade also transfers if you enroll at UMD and want the grade as well. If you don't like the grade, you can take the class again. The test is the same one that UMD students take, and it is graded by a UMD professor.[/quote]

My kid took the UMD MVC exam as a senior at Wheaton. Got credit with UMD.[/quote]

I will add - his teacher was a fantastic teacher who graduated with a degree in engineering from MIT and worked at Boeing. About twenty kids took the UMD MVC exam. All got credit and nine got As, if I understood correctly.[/quote]
