[quote=Anonymous]AP tests aren’t necessary to get into a good school nor does taking 17 AP exams make your kid a “better” candidate than others. My kids at an expensive private school took 3 and 4 AP exams, respectively, and got into three of HYPS each. The AP exam is devalued and not a point of comparison between schools. [/quote] I never said it had to be 17 AP’s or any number. And you keep saying kids don’t need to take AP exams then use your kids as examples of getting into great schools even though they did take AP exams. [/quote] + 1,000,000. This DC Metro area is so frustrating with this exact example in so many ways....APs are not important for so many reasons.... Don't want to pigeon-hole the teachers...Want them to be able to be creative with the curriculum... Only public school kids need to care about this... I expect my kids to learn so much more....blah, blah, blah.... yeah- my kids took some AP tests too. [/quote]
