[quote=Anonymous]If you take an ap class in fcps, does the fact that you pass or not pass the ap exam have any effect on your grade for the class? Are you expected to send the exam score to the colleges you are applying to (or have applied to)? Is there a standard curriculum that the ap teachers are using? (i.e. does ap provide a sequence and curriculum that the teachers are supposed to cover)? I ask b/c our HS's ap pass rates aren't that great -- especially at the 4 or 5 level. (better at the 3 level). Just wondering what the impact of this is -- are kids not being taught all that they need to get 4's or 5's? Are kids not understanding what they need to do to 4 or 5? Or maybe they aren't trying to get 4 or 5 b/c they don't care whether they get the college credit (I know 3s generally don't count for college credits -- or only for electives). Just trying to sort out the value of the ap pass rates and what that means for grades or just for the education of my kids.[/quote]
