[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid who can't manage to get a good grade in Calc BC, by 12th grade, has no business taking a spot at TJ.[/quote] The issue is the level at which they teach the course. A kid may struggle during the year, and then get a 5 in the AP exam without any problem. I had one kid at a base school and one at TJ, so saw this in action. The same thing happened with multivariable calc - the end of year exam for TJ was the George Mason University exam, and that was so much easier than the TJ tests. My kid got 100% in the George Mason exam plus bonus points, which put the final grade back into A territory. [/quote]
