For the students who are planning to apply to medical school, I’ve read on here that most colleges recommend not skipping the intro Bio, Chem and Physics (maybe even calculus?) classes using the AP credits (even with a 5). If that’s the case, I am not sure if taking the AP exams on these subjects are even worth it for such students (unless they change their mind in college). I have talked with my S about this, and he still wanted to take 4 AP exams (Bio, Env Sci, Government, Eng Lit) since he is not completely sure about the med school track (he is also interested in business). He chose not to take the AP Calc BC exam if he has to take the calculus again in college (he is not a math-loving kid, although he gets mostly high Bs (85-92 is a B in his school)). Would you recommend that he take the AP Calc exam or not?
