[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's some discussion going on in a thread titled Perfect Score on ACT on the College forum.  OP mentioned something about grade inflation, and everyone over there is in a tizzy.  A lot of defensive posters...definitely a different tone than this thread!

That being said, there was mention about the fact that exams have been eliminated from high school curriculum.  But someone chimed in and said that MCPS now gives "quarterly exams."  Just curious...if this is true, are the exams weighted like a typical exam in the student's quarterly grade?  My private school DC has mid term and final and both of these are worth 1/3 of the semester grade.[/quote]

So they are 1/6 each or 1/3 each so two tests are 2/3 of the entire grade( which I would hate that for my child).  They do have quarterly assessments now.  They are not weighted as much as the finals which were 20% of the semester grade.  I would rather they went back to finals but were able to schedule them within a block of the school day so they did not take a whole week of school time.  I don't think AP classes should have finals however.[/quote]
