<p>Actually, this quote is the opinion of a fellow poster, but I believe that most CA teachers are happy not having official AP courses. Courses vary in their coverage of AP material, from 60% in physics (with additional sessions for students planning to take the test) to 100% for Advanced Latin - Virgil. I don’t believe that a lot of students spend a lot of extra time studying for the tests, though. Fewer students at CA take AP tests than at schools with AP courses, but the school does offer the tests on campus and the students do well on the tests. For example, last year over 95% of exams scored 3 or higher and over 50% scored 5 or higher. </p>
<p>All courses considered to be equivalent in rigor to AP courses (most of the courses taken during junior and senior year) are marked as such on the transcript and colleges are aware of this. My kid in college has taken advanced courses where the prerequisite was an AP class without any problem.</p>
