[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP scores don't affect GPA.  No one sees them unless you submit them to a college.  Sadly OP your DC already had a terrible grade for the class.  Not a STEM kid.[/quote]

Or, for whatever reason, the class just didn’t take. If OP’s child decides they want to pursue STEM, they’ll need to retake Calculus (and it might be a good idea to retake the prerequisites, if they aren’t solid, to help them grasp Calculus better). However, I don’t think they should be discouraged as not a STEM kid. They may not be a STEM kid, which would be okay, but that should be determined by their interest and not by a bad AP test. [/quote]This is only one score. One test.  This doesn’t mean cancel all future math classes or a stem career!  Some people on DCUM are just mean and ignorant. [/quote]

There is nothing mean or ignorant about saying a kid may not be a STEM kid.  This poor kid did terribly in the class (as reflected by the GPA being tanked) and terribly on the AP test.  You know what is mean?  Thinking all kids have to be into STEM or they will somehow end up poor and unemployable with their non STEM degree which their parents should never pay for.  That is classic DCUM ignorance.[/quote]
