[quote=Anonymous]DS took AP Calc AB as a junior, received all As, and then got a 2 on his exam, after seriously preparing for it. We wondered if the teacher had been particularly lenient. As a senior, he's taking AP Calc BC (because he wants to study economics in college), and his teacher this year is SUPER RIGOROUS and he's struggling with a C average, ***even though the beginning of the year of AB and BC are supposed to be the same material!*** His teacher said that 80% of his students get a 5 on the exam - we understand this to mean that a portion drop out or choose not to take it! This makes me wonder how colleges can compare the rigor of each student's profile, if students don't take or report AP exam scores (or SAT/ACT scores for that matter). Even in an AP class, teachers can present easy or hard versions of the same material, graded accordingly, and if the student doesn't show an AP score at the end, there's nothing the college can do to verify what it really means. So...?[/quote]
