<p>My limited experience with 1 AP course that my oldest took, wasn’t good. APUSH met 1 1/2 hours 5 days a week all year. The homework took at least that amount of time. So, she was spending at least 15 hours a week all year for 6 college credits. That one course took more work then an entire semester of college. It was insane. I refused to allow her to take anymore AP courses. Oh, and while her college has accepted the credits, they only transfer as elective credits. It makes more sense to me to do the duel enrollment at community college. Unfortunately, it does effect the class rank. My dd was in the top 10% of her class, with only one AP. My son, however is at one of the top high schools, and without AP’s he will not have a good class rank. He’s only in 9th grade, but they are talking and talking and pushing these kids for AP’s. I am not a fan. They push the every kid to take at least one. My friend let her son take one, and when he was struggling, they wouldn’t let him transfer out. She was ticked.</p>
