That's a bit disparaging. Some students go straight to BC, does that make AB 'fluff'. Micro/Macro is a legit class. It may not be the toughest AP, but Econ 101, Psych 101, etc are generally not that difficult at the collegiate level either? AP Gov? You seem to be selectively belittling classes.

Our school doesn’t allow BC without AB

Same as our school but if students did really well in Calc AB, they can take MV Calc instead of BC.

Same. My child is wanting to go into engineering and torn on what to do. Multivariable calc doesn’t have an AP test. If a kid went from AB to multivariable, would that be a dig since they have no BC calc test accounted for?

Our school only lets Calc BC students into MV.

Crazy comment. DC is able to double major with econ very esily with 5 on macro/micro at T20 school. DC can do straight to next courses.

Yeah, they aren’t considered part of the core “highest rigor” that colleges care about. Glad your child found them useful.

You are so horrible.

Yeah, there is a lot of that on here. I think it makes some people feel better about themselves to tear others down and sow discord. It’s really the only plausible reason for someone to take time out of their day to do so. Crazy thing is that it often comments at the expense of kids. Weird stuff.

At MCPS, it's pretty normal to take 2 APs in grade 9 (the easier ones ilke AP CS and AP Gov).

Some big HS offer 20 APs. If you do some of the required classes as summer school (ex: health requirement, pre-req classes for the APs), you can fit a whole lot in. My friend's kid had 17 APs (I think it was 2 in Grade 9, 5 for the remaining grades.)

AP precalculus and AP Calculus AB aren’t necessarily fluff, but if you end up taking Calculus BC, I wouldn’t count them in the number of APs since BC already has an AB score, and would also satisfy any type of major course requirement instead of precalculus (including non stem majors)

Also it makes more sense to count semester units instead of exam results. Calculus BC, Chemistry and Biology correspond to two semesters of college credit, others just one.

Count however you want, but the number alone doesn’t tell the whole story. There’s a core of 10 most challenging classes: Calculus BC, Statistics, Physics C, Chemistry, Biology, Computer science A, English, History, and foreign language that should be prioritized.

That's a bit disparaging. Some students go straight to BC, does that make AB 'fluff'. Micro/Macro is a legit class. It may not be the toughest AP, but Econ 101, Psych 101, etc are generally not that difficult at the collegiate level either? AP Gov? You seem to be selectively belittling classes.

Our school doesn’t allow BC without AB

Ours doesn’t allow BC with AB first either.

Science, calc, history, English, micro, macro

Don’t all 10th graders have to take regular/honors chem in 10th grade before moving on to AP sciences ?

I know 10th graders taking both Honors Chem and AP Physics 1. MCPS. I don’t know any taking 6 APs. A lot are taking APUSH and some doing AP Econs or Physics 1 or Human Geo or CSP most typically. Top kids I know are taking 3 in 10th. Possible to take more but I don’t know any.

Our school lets kids pick their science sequence and kids take an honors science + an AP science in both 10th and 11th. Schools do things differently.

Oh, our school tops out at BC. 😔

No bio in 9th?
