[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids took APUSH in person, got an A and a 5 on the exam.

Another of my kids took APUSH through Virtual VA, got an A and a 3 on the exam. Only took the class online because of an Academy schedule that made it not possible to take the class in person.

It depends on why you want to take APUSH in the first place.  If it is just to take a History credit, then you could take a regular or Honors history credit instead.  If it is to take an AP class and get credit for college, from my experience watching both of my kids, the in person class will be infinitely better to prepare them for the exam.

If it's to have an AP class on your transcript to impress colleges, the colleges will assume you took it online to skirt the system and get an easier AP credit.

So, I guess it all depends on what your end goal is.[/quote]

Lots of kids take APUSH online, some do great online at get a 5 on the AP exams, others don't.  Your kid who took it online and got a 3 on the AP exam may have gotten a 3 on the exam even if he/she took it in person.  [/quote]
