<p>original: Your AP’s sound much more like ours than most of the posts on CC…My d will graduate with 5, including an AP Calc that only has 18 students in the class (from a graduating class of over 300 students)…AP here is taken AFTER you have taken the honors designation in the course, not instead of, therefore, with a few exceptions, you cannot take umpteen AP courses before you graduate, due to the stringent requirements…Some students do attempt placing out of the prerequisites by taking them in the summer; most students, however, have normal lives and normal summer experiences making that impossible…</p>
