[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to my about what AP class your HS student regretted taking the most or struggled with the most (even if it proved successful in the end). Looking for info on the class, not the test. What made the class so bad?

What AP class was the best (even if scored 3 or under on the test). Why did they like the class so much?

Depends on the teacher 100%!!

For example, in my kids’ well-regarded FCPS school, one of the AP psych teachers is great and the other is clueless, and her tests have no connection to her content. The AP comp gov teacher is great, except for that he assigns student presentation projects all through the comp gov portion, which is a lazy way to do it and kids don’t end up being prepared for the actual comp gov AP exam. In AP chem, the teacher is so bad that there’s only one section this year for the entire school (Word is out and not a lot enrolled). She seems “fun” and “nice” but there’s a disconnect between her teaching and her exam grading. For AP stats, there are two teachers and again it’s known that one is great and one is terrible. I have heard less problems about AP lit, Lang, Calc, history, physics music theory and comp sci.

I have had four kids go through the school and all these AP classes, so have heard it all about all of them between them and their friends. [/quote]

It seems they would have benefited by beginning to self-study the summer before. No?[/quote]
