[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD took her first AP exam (AP Gov) this year and scored a 3 after studying like crazy and earning an A in the class. She feels so defeated and embarrassed that all her friends (including those younger than her) received 4/5 scores. Please share some encouraging words. Nothing I say is getting through to her. We know she is a terrible test taker (3.94 UWGPA but bombed the PSAT) so this is nothing new, but it’s still discouraging and makes me wonder how prepared she really is for college.[/quote]

Doing well on an AP exam is not an indication of college preparation. [b]Most college exams look nothing like a standardized test[/b]. [/quote]

I doubt that you have seen any AP exams and I doubt that you currently have any kids in college.  Otherwise you would not say this.[/quote]

Ok, I just asked my MCPS-graduate kid who is in college at UMD whether they have taken any tests in college that were like the AP tests, and they said, "Yes, like, there are tests that have multiple choice questions and then free response questions."[/quote]
