[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The college board site says they start releasing results on July 8th.

Given past experience, that doesn't mean ALL results will be available first thing on July 8th.

I have kids taking a few starting this week. One kid is really ill with Flu B so has anti-virals and anything else we can pump him with, to be well enough to take them.[/quote]

There are make-up days at the end of the exam period.  Don’t take it sick [/quote]

Agree![/quote]

The make ups are not the same test and [b]my kid heard they can have harder FRQs[/b] so be careful. [/quote]

That would be deemed discrimination and not ethical.  :roll: [/quote]

One possibility is that they are telling your kid the FRQs are harder so he's motivated to do them on time. It's also obv true that the FRQs MAY be harder (for him) or easier.

But I have heard the AP exams are much harder for international students taking an alternative exam. I don't know if it's true or not, but it seems to be lore within the foreign service and my kids' school. They use the "basic" questions for the "real" test, alternative questions for the international exams, and the logic is that the alternative ones are a lot harder even though they are graded using US curves.[/quote]

This makes no sense. The international exams are same difficulty. They just have to use different questions because they are done on a different date [/quote]

Yeah I am the PP they were addressing. Don't engage with trolls or theorists. Its a waste of time.[/quote]
