[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s funny how no one makes the argument for AP exam scores only. Things that make you go hmm? 🤨 [/quote] This has always been my wonder from the meritocracy gurus. AP exams are a much better thing to promote- subject specificity, performance over time, and ability to show standardized mastery. It’s the perfect solution, but they’re hung up on the SAT. DS got a 1410 sat, but a 5 on Calc Bc, English Lit, Physics C: Mechanics and E&M, and AP US History (along with other tests). He’s done great in JHUs math program, but for some reason, people think it makes more sense to judge his intellect on an algebra2 exam.[/quote] Not debating that AP scores cover broader knowledge but wouldn’t the problem be accessibility? Not all high schools offer AP’s, some only a few. Having AP scores as the metric would likely disqualify significant number of students [/quote]
