[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids just study the prep books without taking the classes too.  You don't have to take the class.  Colleges are realizing it is kind of a scam.[/quote]

Yes and are realizing high schools are offering so many now with subpar teachers just to butter up their test scores/state rankings and now colleges have to decide if they want that many kids coming in with a ridiculous amount of college credits, they won't get back.  Colleges need $$.  They aren't looking for the kids who have taken 12 AP's.  [/quote]

Nah, the top schools just don't award credit for the APs (or offer elective credit, but make you retake the class if it's in your major).  This is nothing new--it was the case when I went to a state school 10 years ago.[/quote]

Many top schools still award credit for highest scores - but not for all the classes. Totally varies by school but obviousy there's no way for the parent of an 8th or 9th grader to know what schools their DC may consider.
