[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could 25% of students at SWW fail to pass even one AP exam with a 3 or higher? [/quote]

For example, AP Eng Lang is a required course and test for all 11th graders at SWW. AP World and AP US History courses are also required at SWW. Perhaps a quarter of those kids are not a good fit for those courses?[/quote]

Then shouldn’t they fail the class too? [/quote]

No there are just some kids who bomb tests for various reasons.[/quote]

Which will catch up to them when they face final exams in college. The point of making students take AP exams in high school is to ensure they are ready for college. [/quote]

Not really. I am a mediocre assessment test taker but graduated college with honors. One test doesn’t always accurately reflect knowledge. For example, while a graduate student we had numerous student ace the TOEFL who could not speak or understand English. We then had to scramble to put someone else in their teaching slot.[/quote]
