It’s AP test week! My sophomore is taking two for the first time. Do most kids study beyond the class work? When are scores released this summer? |
No feelings. That is for my kids. |
+1 My kid is marginally keyed up, but makes no difference to me. |
Scores will be released on July 8. My kid is a senior taking five AP tests, the first one is being held right now (AP Gov.) |
My freshman asked for help going through practice questions and answers from a book this weekend. I was happy to help for a while, but it was not the way I envisioned spending most of my weekend. |
Couldn’t care less. My DD is taking 4 AP’s but only one test. Literally don’t care how she does. She’s heading to college in the fall so the score matters not at this point. |
The family that studies together are buddies together! |
It’s exciting. Good luck to all. These kids work so damn hard. |
Eh |
Aren't you guys cool! Keep up the good work surveying DCUM non-stop and invalidating people's feelings! |
I’m sorry, is this thread only for anxious helicopter parents? OP asked a question right in the title and I answered it honestly. |
My junior studied a lot outside of class for them. She took 1 last year and did some tutoring for it but got a 4 so I think was motivated to take it up a notch this year. Especially because she thinks AP Chem and APUSH will be hard. She’s not as worried for AP Lang for some reason. Good luck to them! I thought good scores mattered more for admissions but now I’m not sure when/if they get submitted |
Don’t take it personally. These helicopter parents strike back hard and fast. It’s in their DNA. |
My kid is taking three APs and really stressed out, I do think AP scores matter as we hear about inflated grades. what is more objective than AP and SAT? |
The score does matter if she wants to earn college credits based on the AP exam taken. |
