In answer to your question, the curriculum of the Advanced Chem & Bio classes at her high school are pretty similar to the AP curriculum, they just go deeper on some subjects and maybe skip over some others. The Advanced English & History curriculums are very different from the AP’s, but the math and science classes have stayed somewhat similar so many students do still opt to take the AP tests in math and science. She had planned to study for the tests and was hoping for 5’s, but with the pneumonia and needing to prioritize getting caught up at school, she wasn’t able to study at all. Anyway, I do think she should be proud of the 4’s given the classes don’t align perfectly and she didn’t study for the tests, but I tend to agree that with her grades and ACT, the 4’s might detract more than assist her application. Thanks for all the advice!
