[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student does take an AP exam and scores very poorly on it (1 or 2) would a college revoke admission?[/quote] No[/quote] Then what is the point?[/quote] Weighted GPA and to show “rigor” although most private college prep and boarding schools don’t even offer them. And they all get more acceptances than public school kids. I don’t like it and wish they would scale way back. [/quote] I actually think that AP classes/exams are not a bad thing. Having a standardized measure is not a bad thing. Kids signing up for all AP, taking the GPA bump on college apps and then not actually doing the work and taking the test......that would be pretty bad. Hopefully not too many students get away with this sort of thing. But whatever. I thought that a school could lose their AP administration privileges if not enough of there students actually take the AP exams.[/quote]
