Hello @ChoatieMom I agree with your position. I guess I’m worried that my son will be competing with kids like @skieurope who takes APs for fun, even though he wasn’t expected to.
Son has no interest in college credit or trying to take 200 level classes in freshman year of college.
The rigor of my son’s school is tough and already well known to most colleges. However I’m sure many of the top gunners at his BS will take APs just for the sake of it.
