[quote=Anonymous][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]

Wait, what? for real?

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][/quote]

that is not true at all. you can cancel anytime for a fee[/quote]

Can you provide a link within the College Board that supports your claim? because I've looked and not found it.[/quote]
DP, what you want to Google is how to withhold a score. 
https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/score-reporting-services/withhold-scores
Note that the points about deadlines for removing scores from the free report is only if you opted to have your scores sent with the free report (I’d recommend not ever doing that), because you have to cancel them before knowing how you did. Once a test is scored, as long as you did not choose to have the free report sent, you can selectively request to have scores withheld at any time for a fee.

Thank you. Very helpful. That bit about the deadline of June 15 is not very clear![/quote]
