[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No shade on OP's child, but how do you get an A in AP classes and then get below a 3 on the actual exam?[/quote]
Grade inflation. My kid is the same.  But, also, they don't test well, and has learning disabilities that impact reading long text.[/quote]

My NT kid got a couple of 3s.  His SAT one and done was 1430.

Just like SATs, this board is skewed towards parents that report high scores.

Some ways you get 3s are:

1) Not much prep for exam
2) Course was fall semester, exam in May
3) Teacher's class is not pure AP compliant
4) Wide ability levels in the class, resulting in a curve

[b]Somebody has to get the 1s, 2s, and 3s.  [/b]

ETS has done an analysis that supposedly shows that even students who get a 1 or 2 have an advantage when taking the college class.[/quote]

Unless everyone is getting an A in class, the people getting 1s, 2s, and 3s should be the same people getting Bs and Cs in the class. Which isn't to say they shouldn't take the class -- there's value in being challenged, absolutely.[/quote]
