Part of the appeal of taking Advanced Placement classes in high school is that students can save time and money in college.
But Dartmouth College decided to stop the practice of granting college credit based on AP test scores, after faculty members voiced concern that the high school courses weren't as rigorous as what the college offered, according to an Associated Press story Thursday.
Dartmouth won't give credit, but it will continue to offer exemptions and placement in some subject areas based on AP exam scores, according to a newly updated policy on the school's website. The policy is slated to go into effect in the fall of 2014.
