Should my S21 take the AP exam?

@vegas1 thanks, this is what I’m looking for.

@skieurope very true, it always “depends” doesn’t it?!

  • he actually does have an idea of the pool of colleges he might attend as he is in the thick of athletic recruiting right now.
  • he is likely to get an A in the class
  • it's not calculus, it's environmental science. And actually could be English as all 11th graders take AP English for their English class.
  • your ECs may well have been more rigorous/time consuming than my son's, but with 2 other sons graduating from prep school, you'll have to take my word for it that my son's are more time consuming than most. Hence I am not a fan of busy work.
  • what does my son want? To take the test if it helps him get into a selective college, and to not take the test if it really doesn't matter.
