[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My TJ senior didn't take any AP classes until junior year (he did take the AP World History exam after his sophmore year, although the class is not offered at TJ).  As a junior, he ended up with 4 AP classes (computer science, Spanish, Calc AB, and US History), and is taking 3 more this year (Calc. BC, AP Gov't, and AP English), plus 3 post-AP classes (he wanted to take AP Spanish Lit, but it wasn't offered this year).  So to my mind he's taken a pretty rigorous course load, but didn't take any of AP Bio, Chem, or Physics.  So I don't know how this would measure up for the kinds of schools he's interested in (top level LAC's).  My younger is currently a sophmore at our base school.  He took AP World History as a freshman, and is currently in AP Spanish, AP Gov't, and AP Psych.  He'll likely end up doing the IB program starting next year, so he won't have any more AP's, but will have the full complement of IB courses.  So will his course load be considered more rigorous than my TJ- attending son?  Who knows, but I know they are both working hard.[/quote]

How is your son taking AP Spanish as a sophomore?[/quote]
