Ok y'all, my son is getting ready to take the SAT in May and he wants to take some AP exams. He has taken some AP and honors classes and done well, but I'm wondering what AP exam prep materials are worth the money? Are they necessary? Do they exist? Will they translate into any college credit?
What about SAT prep? This is my oldest and first one to embark down this road, so I'm clueless! I know this great testing group and home schooling bunch here can provide some suggestions. I know there are some expensive SAT prep courses, but we live so far out in the boonies nothing will be near us. I'm hoping someone has had success with something online or some books. Please guide me to some good resources. His school counselor is useless! It took me several phone calls and emails just to get the test dates! I'm still waiting to hear what AP exams are available and if he will get college credit or high school credit for them.
Thanks in advance for your help!
