[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many privates chools don't even have AP classes any more. I'm surprised GDS still teaches to a standardized test. [/quote] That's like saying many good colleges don't require the SATs. All of the good schools that emphasize academics like the Big 3 here, Exeter, Andover, TJ, etc offer APs bc there is a demand for them. You can save a lot of tuition if the college will give credit and it's a way to show that the kid is a more than capable student.[/quote] Exeter doesn't have APs and I don't think Andover does either. Colleges are increasingly not giving credit. Saying schools like Exeter have classes similar to APs is not the same thing. Schools are preferring to design their own curricula for advanced classes. There is definitely a movement away from APs.[/quote] Most colleges still do give credit, including Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford. Don't know about Yale.[/quote]
