[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We are surprised too about the 3. We thought she’s score a 4/5 based on prep tests. Anyways, I’ve always told DD study first for school (get As) next is prepare for SAT and third priority is APs.[/quote]
These are probably the best priorities for most kids. Doing well in school is probably the most important task. There is no need to take too many AP courses. You can signal academic rigor and ability to handle AP exams without taking tons of APs. [b]A couple in sophomore year and three or four per year in 11th and 12th should be plenty for a high achieving kid. [/b][/quote]

You are kidding, right?  That is 10 APs!! Is that a normal average amount? [/quote]

high performing kids (like magnet kids) take ~16 or more APs. [/quote]

LOL, no, they do not.  My Blair magnet kid took ten AP exams, which is at the high end of typical.[/quote]

Maybe not at Blair but definitely true for RMIB. Mine took 16 APs and 6 IBs. Some of her IB friends took more APs than that. [/quote]

And you think this is good?[/quote]

No, I didn't say it was good or bad. If kids can handle and want to, I don't see any issues. If forced, that's obviously not good. [/quote]
