Online AP exams

[Anonymous]

Isn’t anyone concerned about cheating if the exams are online?
I personally know some parents who plan to ‘help’ their kid on the AP exam. Some kids have older siblings who are planning on taking the AP exams for their younger sister/brother.. how is this fair?

What do you think the College Board should do instead, OP?

So, what do you think the College Board should do instead?

Not OP- but I agree. Online AP exams are meaningless. Might as well just give everyone a 5 and be done with it

It's not fair. The people you know are creeps, and I hope you told them so.

Rat them out. AP has different things in place to help detect cheating, but hopefully the consequence of being caught (telling colleges) is a big deterrent.

How does somebody else's kid cheating affect you?

NP. You are an idiot to say that, and do not really deserve an explanation.

There is tracking and camera. They will be using key logger and other software.

Will colleges even accept these bogus test scores for credit? Just another money grab by the College Board.

Look into how the College Board assigns scores for AP test results.

I'd be ok if they had webcame and audio recording but if they haven't mentioned that yet, then it's not happening.

One of dd's teachers said that they plan to send the AP teacher a copy of the test to see if they can spot red flag. Don't know how many teachers would do this but it wouldn't be systematic-- what do they do if a kid slacked off all year but studied the month before and did better than expected?

It would work, though, if they actually had the camera/audio going... each teacher could do the proctoring for their own students...
