[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most students do well on the AP exam at your child’s high school? I was shocked to learn that the majority of students at our local HS didn’t do well on the exam and could not use the class for college credit. Most simply took the class for the rigor check and the GPA bump and were quite open about that plan. [/quote] At our private HS, yes. My son has received 5s. He wouldn’t even be able to take 12-15 APs. His school has prerequisites, e.g., need to take the regular/honors version first, for English you need to sub out a writing sample and all require teacher recommendations. Some of the honors courses have been much more challenging than the AP courses. 6-8 APs, but then lots of honor courses is rigorous at our high school.[/quote] Same. And our school offers some very interesting college level “deep” courses that are not AP. These look more impressive than done if the easy APs just to get a bump.[/quote]
