<p>Your son will decide the “right course load” for himself. You may notice that as each year goes by you have less input and he knows more about which courses he wants. Remember that AP calculus represents an average college course, much more is covered in the better schools, including one I know most- the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Taking too much AP calculus instead of the university he attends version may not give him the same math preparation for the school’s more advanced courses.</p>
