[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some person on the Walls thread claimed that they personally knew 3 different BASIS kids who took the Calculus AP exam in 8th grade, failed it, and personally reported their failing scores to that PP.  The same person also implied that BASIS math teachers were bemoaning all of the unprepared 8th graders in calculus.  [/quote]

We are at BASIS and these seems so implausible. The vast majority of kids take Geometry/Algebra II in 8th grade... that's the sequence. Don't trust everything you read here![/quote]

We are also at BASIS.  The most advanced 8th graders this past year took AP Pre-calculus.  There were no more than a half dozen of them. The most advanced 9th graders were in this same class— no 9th graders were accelerated at any point so none were in Calculus AB this year.  So this poster on the Walls thread is either confused or they are talking about some kid many years back.

This is all correct, the current cohort of 9th graders had no one advance to the super accelerated track because all of 6th was covid/virtual learning.[/quote]
