[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would love to see a 100 point scale, and a push towards greater consistency nationwide. I admit our private school gives a lot of credit in taking AP exams even for the unweighted GPA- I.e a B grade preAP gets up to an A if you get a 5 on the exam. But an A stays an A. So a college really has no way of differentiating our top students. [/quote] Yup. It's totally bullsh*t kids are given A's in an AP class, then either skip the end of year AP Exam or score 1 2 3. If you can't get a 4 or 5 you don't deserve an A. But AP exam scores don't release until the summer, which I'm sure is intentional. College Board (owner of SAT, AP, and all the fee-based admissions financial aid crap you have to do) is a total racket. And teachers don't give a damn if everyone has an easy A. Nobody complains and parents are none-the-wiser until it's too late, e.g. kid bombs AP Exams, kid bombs SAT in 11th, kid fails out of college.[/quote]
