[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read Atlantic's APs are a scam article College Board = $$$ making[/quote] I agree. Kids should take HS classes in HS. Why do they need college credit so young??? That said, we played the game. One IB, one dual enrollment, 8 AP classes. Going to top 20 SLAC as a recruited athlete. 8 AP classes probably wouldn’t have cut it if he wasn’t a good athlete (although he could have handled more if he wasn’t devoted to sports 20 hours most weeks). [/quote] It's because AP k (and IB) is the only nationally standard state of rigor. Most students fail or scrape by the AP exams! And that's OK! They don't get credit at rigorous universities and LACs, and do get credit for low-end colleges. But the exam score is at least a decent estimate of preparation in the subject. [/quote]
