[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I hope someone gives me a clear answer to this.

If a student already takes AP or magnet class, is it beneficial for him/her to take the AP exam for college acceptance purposes? Let's say (s)he is not interested in college credit for the course.

Depends on the high school and the colleges. My kid aspires to go to a specific college that doesn’t take AP credits. But it does use AP for placement purposes or for issuing a language exemption, for instance. His school is private and the kids don’t take AP classs because they’re not offered. But they take tests anyway because if anything, [b[u]]they’re over prepared for it. They submit them to colleges if it will enhance their record[/u].[/b] At big public schools AP are a known quantity, so the expectation is that the smart kids will take those classes. It’s a signal that they’re a smart kid. For my kid, the colleges probably won’t care as much. Cause it’s just not an option.[/quote]

I am sorry even the elite colleges are dumb a$$ colleges.  They don't know your kid's private school prepares its students way above AP course level and so they insist on AP test scores be submitted if an applicant wants enhanced record.  What a crap :roll: [/quote]
