what an ignorant and unhelpful comment[/quote]it is not ignorant at all. Two college counselors have said this to me. The college can not assume the kid took the test-they cost money- so the grade you get in the course matters more to them than if you submit an AP test score or not. Kids who do not submit scores are not penalized since they can assume they took the test. If hoping to get college credit this doesn’t apply. Why is that unhelpful info? [/quote]

There are many colleges who require strong AP test grades. If you want to go to Montgomery college I'm sure it doesn't matter.[/quote]

They *require* strong AP class GRADES, they do not require the AP test scores as part of admissions. The can not assume a student even took the test since the tests each cost about 100 dollars. The vast majority of applicants to elite colleges apply from public high schools, as you know. It is not a required part of the admissions process, and does not sway outcomes.
GRADES and rigor of courses taken matter for admissions.[/quote]
