[quote=Anonymous]My daughter's AP Chem teacher used to be a Chem professor and said that the students who struggled the most in higher level Chem classes in college were the ones who scored well enough to opt out of the basic 101 level or equivalent course.

I believe that to be true.  I took AP Calc AB & then AP Calc BC in HS.  I got a 5 on  the AB test and a 4 on the BC test.  The university I went to had a Calc III course that I was placed in and I struggled.  There is a huge difference between learning college level courses from a high school teacher and learning college level courses from a professor.  I don't mean to disparage HS teachers at all, but that's what I found to be true.  I realized that my HS teachers pretty much never deviated from the textbooks.  If it wasn't in that book, we didn't need to know it or consider it.  College courses were filled with more outside resources.  Problems were given from various other books and materials that the professor had.    [/quote]
