[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any good AP Comp A teachers?
My kid told me 3/4 of their class left the FRQ papers totally empty. [/quote]

My kid liked the format of the actual class this year. Students did everything on their own, worked at their own pace and teacher was there if you had a question. This suited my kid just fine and he thought it was a nice break from his other classes which were more structured. But the teacher didn't teach - pretty sure some parents have complained.

My kid also said that the teacher didn't do a lot of prep for the exam either. He kept telling them "don't worry about this or that" so kid practiced questions on his own and somehow was able to tell what score he got on each one. Not sure how this works.

In any event, I'm the pp with the one kid who thought frq was a bit easier than the mcq but he said he focused more on practicing free response than multiple choice so that was probably a factor.

Agree with a pp - I've decided to encourage kid not to stress about the scores at all anymore. He gets what he gets and we'll [b]decide what to do with the scores when that issue rolls around.[/b][/quote]

You can only cancel or remove them until June 15 of the year in which the test was taken. Aka - before you get the scores. Once you have the scores they are on the record and not removable.[/quote]

Incorrect--my son canceled a score last year from an exam he took his 9th grade year.

[quote]The AP Program allows you to cancel your AP Exam scores. When you request cancellation, your exam won’t be scored, and[b] if it has already been scored, the score will be permanently deleted from our records.[/b] Once a score is canceled, it can’t be reinstated. There’s no fee for this service, but your exam fee is not refunded. Archived scores cannot be canceled.

[b]Scores can be canceled at any time,[/b] but for scores not to be sent to the college, university, or scholarship program that you indicated as your free score report recipient at cb.org/apfreescoresend, the AP Program must receive your request by June 15 of the year you took the AP Exam.[/quote]

You are a total moron. Read the link you sent yourself

"Scores can be canceled at any time, but for scores not to be sent to the college, university, or scholarship program [b]that you indicated as your free score report recipient[/b] at cb.org/apfreescoresend, the AP Program must receive your request by June 15 of the year you took the AP Exam."[/quote]

That is only if you don't want the scores sent via free score report. My son canceled his scores 2 years AFTER taking the exam. Anyone can call College Board to confirm. [/quote]

I am a new poster and might be called moron, but please help me understand as I am an immigrant parent and didn't go to school in the U.S.
If students didn't use "free score send," the scores would not be sent to any colleges automatically when they apply to colleges- is my understanding correct? 9th, 10th, 11th grade students who didn't send scores via free score report to colleges (because obviously they don't know yet which colleges they are applying to) their scores don't need to be cancelled, do they?
