Harvard professor: AP classes don’t compare to college work

Harvard Professor, Philip M. Sadler

Survey of 18,000 students nationwide finds AP classes not comparable to college work

Many parents believe AP courses, combined with high SAT and ACT scores are enough to ensure their student’s success in college. However, this may not be the case according to a survey of 18,000 students enrolled in introductory science courses.

When it comes to quality college preparation parents need to consider more than what it takes to simply get their high school student through the college admissions process. Truly being prepared for the demands of university level work means preparing their critical thinking skills and enhancing their critical reading and writing skills.

RCG Scholars offers College Prep that focuses on these skills. Your teen will learn what college professors expect from them, have a chance to ask questions, and bring their reading and writing skills up to the college level. After all – what good is getting them into their dream school if they don’t understand how to truly succeed there?
