[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never took AP in high school (only IB). So I'm confused as to whether there is some universal standard for class exams and grading for all AP classes. Is it possible that AP classes at school #1 are totally easy and you can get an A without being prepared for the exam, vs at school #2 where AP classes are hard and you might get a B while being well prepared for the exam?[/quote] Yes, that's definitely possible, but schools have historic data on how kids from any given school did on an AP exam. So they know that School A offers AP Calc BC, but the school average from the previous few years is a 2.3, while School B offers AP Calc BC, and the previous few years' school average is 4.3. Of course this can work against a kid from school A who ends up getting a 5 at the end of senior year.[/quote]
