[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids take the AP exams after DE classes to have scores to submit?[/quote]

They don’t need to.  They have college grades to submit.[/quote]

It would be interesting to see what the score would be to compare the content of an AP and DE class.  I know some kids choose DE over APs just to avoid the exam though.[/quote]

One huge one and done exam doesn’t seem to me like it would be a superior measure of content mastery.  It would seem to be at least partially a measure of how good a test taker you are.

These are an apples to oranges IMO because AP classes by definition teach to the test and DE classes don’t have that constraint and aren’t designed that way.

I’m not saying one is superior to the other, I just think different kids learn best in different environments.  I could envisions kids who have exceptional content mastery via DE not doing great on a AP test, particularly if it is an AP test that heavily relies on teaching to the test (eg history).
