[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start APs early, or IB if available. That is where the rigor is. [/quote]Bio

OP here and the challenge is that high schools don't set you up to take APs early. That's why I think sharing information is going to be helpful. If you need Honors Bio to get to AP Bio, then the advice should be to knock that class out freshman year so you can get to AP Bio as soon as possible. [/quote]

What are you talking about? Many MCPS students take 1-2 APs grade 9. How much earlier do you want kids to take APs?[/quote]

I think you are illustrating the point. Many MCPS students do take 1-2 APs in Grade 9, but standard MCPS scheduling guidance does not make those options clear, at least outside the magnets. You have to ask friends, or ask here on DCUM, to find out what is possible. [/quote]

My school sent a flier suggesting students LIMIT themselves to 1 AP in 9th, 2 APs  in 10th, 3 in 11th, 4 in 12th.

The AP courses are on the course selection card, not a hidden secret. [/quote]
