[quote=Anonymous]My DC self studied two AP exams and did well on them - for one, they spent 2 1/2 days watching college board videos right before the exam, and the other one took probably 100 hours spread over many weeks. So it depends on the exam - content was all new for both of them. In our case, it was because the school didn't offer AP classes. In retrospect, it was a pain and took time away from an already busy schedule of regular school stuff. I’m not really in favor of piling even more work onto our overscheduled kids. But felt we had to do it because of the same concern as above, that colleges won’t really fully take into account that their school doesn’t offer APs when they are competing for admission against kids who have taken many of them and have a much clearer standardized profile.[/quote]
