[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's good practice for AP exams in high school. [/quote] My theory is that Basis pushes AP exams in part because they factor highly into US News-type school ranking (or just as a bragging right / “mark of quality” in general) and that the Comps are a way to train younger students for eventually taking APs. Nothing wrong with any of that, in theory. As a student, I always found midterms and final exams to be useful because they forced me to review and process the material as a whole in ways I wouldn’t have done without the tests. I’m just a little cynical about Basis sometimes, and particularly about the Comps because they aren’t great with my child’s learning style and cause a lot of stress in our household. [/quote]
