<p>My kids’ HS (and in part the CB, I think) pays for most of the AP exam fees for kids on reduced/free lunch. I think those students pay about $15 per test.</p>
<p>Our HS just started weighting APs this year. The deal is you get an extra point for AP but only if you get a B- or higher. So a C is a 2.0 in UW and W gpa. </p>
<p>To take an AP course, kids need to have a B in the preceding honors course or an A in the preceding regular course.</p>
<p>One or two well-known difficult courses (a team taught Physics/Analysis combo is one) do not have an AP designation or corresponding exam and do not get weighted but are taken by advanced students anyway.</p>
