[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend’s daughter goes to a public charter school in DC that exists to prepare kids to do well on the AP exams, according to her mom. Students cram all year and grades in class are based on their performance on practice tests. She was shocked when I said my kid had not taken a single practice exam but had been doing well in class and was studying independently. A totally different approach with different results (and a limited data set admittedly). Her kid scored 5s on all three exams she took this year as a ninth grader. My kid scored a 3.[/quote]

I assume your friend's daughter attends Basis.  Mine does as well, and they do several practice tests during the year.  The final grade for the course is affected by the AP score, so any kid scoring a 1 or 2 who previously had an A in the class would end up with a B or lower.  Basis does a great job of preparing kids for AP tests and making sure that they study enough to get a high score.  My DD also got a 5 in AP US Gov in 9th grade.  [/quote]
