[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again - I see lots of comments about AP tests being used to place out of college classes. I get that. What about the AP test scores being used in admissions as a sign of rigor or academic qualification? I guess that's the question behind my question. [/quote] Yes, it puts the grade in the equivalent class into a broader perspective.[/quote] Thanks - so in that case, why are these school college advising offices discouraging the AP test for applicants to the most elite colleges?[/quote] NP. This is my concern. How do the schools communicate rigor to colleges, especially if DC wants to apply to a college unfamiliar with these DMV schools? With the current test optional environment, it seems like eliminating another standard isn't a great idea? [/quote] Just be quiet and only apply to the tiny liberal Slacs your upper school does know. Then grad school. [/quote]
