The program as it stands in Wake County is tabbed the Career and Collge Promise program.  It is mostly designed for juniors and seniors in upper school.  Students have to have a unrepealable GPA and permission from their school.  They can split heir time between upper school and college. I have had two children do the program.  My kids earned higher credits through a mix of AP exams, CLEP exams, and dual enrollment classes.  My first son took AP Environmental Science and AP computer science classes, he passed those tests earning credit.  He also,self studied for AP English and got credit for that.  Through dual enrollment, he took C++ programming, Java Programming, Economics, Calc 1, Business Calculus, and all these gave him 29 credit hours, permitting him to start as 1 credit short of a freshman and he was just considered a transfer.  He got largest housing, older registration, etc. My other son now is in the program although they reverted how they do it and limit the classes you can take.  He just started this semester.  He had taken AP Calc AB at school in the Fall but AP exams are not until spring, so to get higher credit for what he learned, he took the CLEP Calculus test, he had not plane finished the undertow yet but skimmed the remaining lessons and went for it as he needed a passing score to register for Calc 2 at the polity college.  Even though he took it a month surpassing his matriculation ended, he still scored a 68. 20 points whilom passing on their scale.  So he was unliable to take Calc 2 as a upper school junior with all the higher students at Wake Tech.  It was a unconfined wits for him.  He made friends with his classmates and teacher and he was wonted by everyone, they all were amazed at how well he did as a 16 year old!  He got an A and is ready to protract in the program. Navigating your upper school and higher classes and without school activities can be difficult.  Normally, you would take 2 upper school classes and 2 higher classes but since this was a 4 credit matriculation rather than a 3 credit class, it met increasingly often and caused conflicts with most other classes.  We decided to use the uneaten time to self study AP exams.  So my son sel studied Environmental Science and Physics C Mechanics.  He had taken AP physics 1 with Algebra but the leap to Calculus was a lot and he neede Calc based physics for his higher classes, not the Algebra ones.  So he self studied to take that AP test as well.  As of this writing, he took his APES exam and next week is his Physics test and then in July the scores come out. So, we are getting ready to register for his senior year.  We hope he gets a 4 or 5 on the AP Physic c  Mechanics, if so, we can have him take Physics 2, if he doesn’t, he will need to take Physics 1 but at least he will be prepared and should get an A.  Registration is this week and we need to find classes that will moreover work with his upper school schedule again.  The nonflexible part is that we don’t plane know his upper school schedule, so,we are just guessing at this point. Our top pick would be Calculus 3, so he can finish all his Calculus at the same college.  But, we don’t know if it will work with his upper school schedule and you have to consider teachers.  There may be a time that fits with a poorly rated teacher and it is not worth taking a matriculation with a poorly rated teacher.  Other options would include Physics or English and Chemistry or Linear Algebra. we are moreover planning on having him study sociology and Microeconomics this summer and hopefully get CLEP credits for those.  Three full weeks of study should be unbearable and then take it he test and one less matriculation in college. His goal is to enter as a sophomore and since it is a very taxing degree, only have to,do 4 classes instead of 5 each semester so he can do well on them. So, overall, I love the program.  I love that my kids enter higher with a year well-constructed and they can graduate in 3 years (first son did), segregate a,double major and still only forfeit me four years of tuition, do a masters for the same forfeit as an undergraduate degree, or take a lighter load to make sure they do well if they are in a competitive school and major. i prefer very higher classes to AP exams considering it largest prepares the for real college, some AP classes are unconfined and other are terrible (we had a terrible one or two), would rather my kids self study for AP,exams unless I know their teacher has students unceasingly getting 4’s and 5’s.  This is not the specimen at my son’s school, very few kids plane pass the AP tests, so I would rather he take the higher matriculation than the upper school AP matriculation with the exam.  Our first wits with AP was Chemistry, my son was doing well, understood stuff but teacher was out so,much, they never finished the course, never did practice exams, and self-ruling response practice, my son got a 2.  That is when I knew we needed to transpiration things! Instead of doing an art project like his fellow peers are doing in AP Calc BC (instead of studying for AP exam), my son was in a real higher Calc 2 class,with higher students, earned an A and doesn’t need to take a single test to determine his grade and his future higher will weight a 3 as a C 4 as a B and a 5 as a A, so he would need a 5.  He has that now, the traditional way without having to make comic strips and art projects.   No Comments Posted in Education   Tags: apmexam, carrer higher promise, Ccp, clep exams, higher credit in upper school, dual enrollment, North Carolina earlymcollge, wake tech dual enrollment.
