[quote=Anonymous]STA parent here. Boys routinely take AP exams in classes that don’t have AP designations too and anecdotally, my kid felt adequately prepared from the non-AP-designated classes. No APs are typically taken freshmen year (although there are some exceptions when kids are particularly advanced in math or science). My son was happy to take the tests bc he is applying to colleges where they accept AP credit. I don’t perceive he has any advantage in admissions compared to kids with no APs. And he may not take spring tests if he ends up at a school that doesn’t grant AP credits. And, my understanding is the designation stated both bc the college board sued STA specifically as well as long t edited teachers being pretty happy with the curriculum and not wanting to change (though my guess if they would teach the same thing if the AP designation was dropped.
