[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^I messed up my reply. But ok I see what others are saying. Take the ap senior year for:

-potential college credit for gen ed classes you want to skip
-to double major or add a minor
-to free up schedule to graduate early or take fewer classes one semester

All good reasons. So, when they make it through junior year testing madness (PSAT, SAT, APs, final exams), it's a little more relaxed senior year in that good scores will impart some benefits but nothing that's critical for admissions.[/quote]

yes, AP score-wise senior year could be more relaxed, as most will know where they are going and can look up whether a specific test will gain them anything.  However, senior year is not more relaxed in terms of course choice: they need to select the same or higher level of rigor in their course selection as they have had in 11th. A drop in rigor, even a small one, is a problem for elites, and is hammered into our private school kids as half the college counselors used to serve on T25 admissions and still have contacts. They have been saying TO is fake news for private school applicants since 2022 for the elite colleges, unless you are hooked, and encourage reporting every AP score 3 and above (and have for years).

No one is talking about course selection.  We're talking about taking the AP exam.[/quote]

Aren’t you fun.

DP, but when you get credit for AP classes, that equates to more senior standing.  In most semester based schools 32 units (8 APs) is a sophmore.  Enrollment priority is often based on seniority.  In such schools, having the units (from getting 4s and 5s on APs) provides priority to getting your first choice in courses.

That is one reason it may matter.[/quote]
