[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you take 5 or 7 AP's senior year.

In MCPS you literally need 1 class to graduate once you are a senior.[/quote]

To go to college?  Colleges want to see a progression of classes so if you've been taking honors/APs you can't drop down to on level your senior year.  [/quote]

But he could take 4 AP classes, weight lifting and art. So the only reason is that college might like this because nobody actually know the answer to this question.  Did the school recommend this? Technically he could take 1 class and then a bunch of classes at Montgomery College and go into college with actual college credits, no AP tests needed.

I find this scheduling situation odd. Not picking on you specifically. I have 2 groups of friends: TEAM AP: 4, 5, 6, 7 AP's senior year and TEAM College Credit: 1 English (sometimes done the summer before senior year) and attend Montgomery College, going to college with transferable college credit.

If you are taking 7 APs and plan to attend a top tier college...hopefully you've checked out whether that particular college (or colleges) will even accept the AP credit.  If they do not, then taking above 4 in one year would suggest its a waste of time (don't forget the effort). [/quote]
