Given Covid, my kids plan was to complete the SAT, then take the AP’s( if available) . Kid was pretty excited that subject tests went away. For the AP’s, I don’t think they are that important. If the kid has solid GPA from a BS and good letter grade in that subject then I think it’s just a bonus if they have a 5 on the AP. I’d be more concerned about AP’s for English Univ’s. But our kid’s not going that route.
Since you had shortened classes, it might be hard to get the full 4/5. Seems like AP’s are as much a factor of how much material is covered as what is retained. How can anyone learn everything in that short time block?
Finally, I think the SAT is the main test. Even with TO, if you have a solid score, I think that’s going to be the only test that is going to be available to schools this year. Maybe some kids will have SAT/ACT and AP’s but many will have fewer AP’s than normal.
