Because it all boils down to one test, not a body of work across a course. And there is no guarantee that a college will accept a test score. And teachers are locked into a curriculum someone else chooses. Oh and College Board sells your kid's data.

I learn something new all the time. Thanks for sharing your input. Im a single mom now and she is my only child, so Im new to all of this. She actually knows a hell of a lot more about AP classes than I do, unfortunately. I will look into it. Thanks!

Happy to help. I spent too much time working in 9-12 and seeing kids get burnt out by too much AP or telling me after graduation they felt like it was a waste of their time. Unfortunately, there are too many administrators out there who love to push AP because it makes their schools look "great."
