[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you find out what the top 5-10% of your kid's HS is doing with regard to APs?

Word of mouth and confirmed by guidance counselor during college application process.  13-15 APs is pretty aggressive and I am not sure this is standard across all of FCPS.[/quote]

9th- 0- Didn't think it was even an option. DC probably could have handled 1 but may not have made the most of it. 
10th- 1- Scored a 4 on the AP test. Probably could have handled 2 by this time. 
11th- 4- Scored two 4s and two 5s on tests. Also took 1 DE class for Language. DC was regretting only taking Honors Physics, said could have handled 5. 
12th- 6 - DC is loving the rigor and topics of all their classes. 7th class is DE. Plans to take all AP tests, and by this time have the discipline to know the work it takes.

So that's 11 APs and 2 DE. I told DC to ask their counselor if the courseload qualifies for checking the "most rigorous" box and the counselor said yes. [/quote]
