[quote=Anonymous]It is hard to imagine a SMAC kid would really be enjoying the "challenging nature" of an AP class, given their heavy work load and EC activities. The main reasons to take AP classes: 1) to get college credit later. 2) to impress college admission officers that the student is taking challenging courses (here the "challenging" part comes in - not the student themselves, but rather they think the admission officers want to see that) and getting good grades in AP exams. Most students wouldn't mind taking a "not so challenging" but "appears to be challenging (to outsiders)" course and getting an A for that course. It just doesn't work that way though. [/quote]
