<p>^was that Michael Ma?
(sorry to OP for jacking thread)</p>
<p>trololololololololo XD</p>
<p>If only they had this in the Guinness Book of World Records LMAO!</p>
<p>@Kyrix1 I believe so.</p>
<p>Whether the poster is real or not, s/he is not even close. </p>
<p>Having said that, I think this is not a record that makes sense for anyone to pursue. There are practical challenges: most younger students are going to lack the handwriting speed and stamina as well as the writing skills for the free-response sections. </p>
<p>Then there are the more general “why??” questions. 99.99% of students are not going to be ready to do AP-level work at an early age, so pushing them to “break the record” is like trying to teach a pig to sing. For the students who are ready for the work at a very early age, there is no best/ set way to do things, and AP exams might make sense. But those students are so very, very few in number. Most children will be better served by doing nearly anything other than preparing for AP exams years before high school.</p>
