[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids didn't take one of his AP exams senior year.  He had a B in the class and didn't feel he'd do well and I said sure, skip it.  [/quote]

That makes sense senior year.  [b]If you don't feel you've learned the material,[/b] you wouldn't take the AP credit in college (if needed for your major), you'd retake the course.

But if it's a Gen ed type course, by May you know where you are going, so if they'd take the AP credit take the test and you might get a 4/5 or whatever is needed for credit.

Its not just that, classes like AP Physics and AP Chinese Language & Culture are two of the absolute hardest AP exams with low pass rates. You could scrape an A in those classes and still struggle in the exams[/quote]

The pass rate for AP Chinese Lang is high (84%/ 54% (5s) because most kids taking the exam are native speakers. [/quote]

It has been dropping year on year, since it started. I think its lower than 76% now. But yes, original that was the case, native speakers. [/quote]
