[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is at a school that offers few APs. This year, as a senior, he got permission from his school to take AP BC Calc and AP Chem online. The classes were fairly useless, he says, but I do believe this contributed to his receiving full Banneker Key at UMd. Looks good that he sought out more rigor than was available. [/quote]

AP exams are pretty low level.  Nobody cares anymore.[/quote]

This is depressingly accurate. College Board has *really* ramped up the pass rates for AP exams. Combo of them getting legislatures to codify requirements that state universities accept scores of 3+, and because of competition with DE, which was traditionally seen as an easier route.

On the other hand, it's probably worth sitting a few of them -- whether formally taught or not -- to help build the case that you didn't just ChatGPT your way through school.

My kids' school has very few APs offered, but they do have students occasionally sitting the exam in non-AP subjects.
