[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago only accepts AP5s for each exam, is this normal for T20 or is it the only school that is this strict? I think it says something about their rigor but kid was surprised you don't get out of much, used only for placement or elective credit with the 5. Does HYPSM do this??[/quote] Ivies who accept AP (for advancement even if not credit)typically want 5. Many Ivies have placement tests instead. Top schools have required 5s for almost everything since our oldest began college in 2020. Not new. Since then they have cut down the number of classes where AP of 5 gets you credit for advancement, particularly calc, chem, physics if the ivy ever allowed it. Getting a 5 Does not mean what it used to : the AP scoring shifted in 2024 such that 5s are now 20% or more of the scores. Many tests that colleges consider most rigorous had 4-11% 5s prior to 2024.
