Grade Inflation Sends AP Test Scores Soaring

[Anonymous]

Inflated AP scores. Will colleges stop giving credits? Maybe only to 5s?

Inflated school grades/GPA, AP scores .. only good measure remaining might be SAT/ACT scores.

Actually, the only one that should matter right now is the PSAT/NMSQT test. One test. One score. The end.

Meh. that graph shows "4's and 5's" so its lumping them all together, which is singularly unhelpful to their own argument.

The elite colleges already limit to 5 in almost all cases. They have for years

This is why college is so hard to get into and why students are so unprepared once they get there. They all get As and top scores. It means nothing.

This would match how other countries do it. It creates a different kind of pressure though, and the pressure hits younger.

I simply disagree with this. My kids worked hard and earned their AP scores; they are also doing very well in college — 100% prepared (more so than I ever was). It’s like kids can’t ever win today. If they earn straight A’s, everyone screams “grade inflation” without having any knowledge of how hard they worked. If a kid gets a 5 on an AP test, it’s grade inflation again. If they earn A’s in college, it’s also grade inflation. But I know my kids and they are hard-working and better prepared than people of my generation. The conversations I have with my kids are more well-informed, and they are excellent writers and critical thinkers. I just don’t get all this talk about kids being stupid, because they are not.
