Taking AP Tests 2021

Need advice - Can anyone share their opinions about taking AP tests this year? If you have advice, I welcome it. The GC is pushing for taking the tests but our school is on the Block System due to COVID. So, kiddo finished 56 chapters of AP Bio in 9 weeks during the Fall term. Now Kiddo is supposed to study - and we have the option to pay $300 for an AP prep course in the spring - and take the AP Bio test in May. Given that Kiddo basically “jet skied” over the material (even though earned an A), the content did not “stick to the ribs”. Therefore, I predict that the AP test will be a waste of time, effort and $$. DH and I believe kiddo should focus on the SAT and not the AP tests. Do you really think colleges will be jonesing for AP tests next year? What do you all think?

Bottom line, AP tests will not be used by colleges in lieu of Subject Tests for admissions - at least short term. And college will continue to have no expectation that kids take AP exams when the schools does not offer.

The answer is different if taking about UK colleges
