<p>I’m an IB student at Plano East. I’m in the top 5% and have always taken honors/AP courses. I don’t understand it when people say that AP’s are extremely difficult and would force you to quit other activities. It’s really not that hard if you simply do your work.</p>
<p>Additionally, the top 10% rule is great IMO. They’ll take you even if you’re not top 10%, especially if you go to a competitive school where it can be difficult to eke up there.</p>
