You should really look at scores of 4 or 5. Forget 3.

I disagree. Lots of brilliant kids get a 3 on tests here and there.

huh? This makes no sense.
My kid left DCPS for private and her current school has 95% of kids getting 4s and 5s on APs exams without even taking the corresponding AP classes.

No "brilliant" kid is getting a 3. Any kid who was taught the content should honestly get a 5, maybe a 4 if they're having a bad day.
These tests are far from rocket science. Have you actually looked at an exam?

Do you know that nationwide less than 50% of students pass the AP exams with a score of 3 or higher?

NP and I don’t see why this refutes PPs assertion. No brilliant kid is getting 3s on APs.

That tells me that the courses were not taught well or that the kids really should not have belonged in the AP class.

AP exams test basic course content. It’s not like it’s testing things you should not know. I walked in taking the AP test with no prep, nothing, cold Turkey and easily got 3 and some 4’s.

Nice to know you are such a self proclaimed AP expert. Great that you took a handful of APs 20 years ago. You seem extremely annoying.
