[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP world is tge mist difficult class because it is their firsr "real" high school course where they are expected to write ans learn like an advanced high school student.

If they put in the work, their grades will improve significantly by the end of the year.

If they treat it like other classes, they will be lucky to eek out a B.

All 3 of mine, from the kid who aced every class without cracking a book, to the one who was a diligent student, to the one who often struggled in school, started AP world with grades ranging from C minus/D plus, to C plus/B minus.

All 3 finished the year with solid As in the class and 5s on the AP exam, including the one whose first grades were Ds.

Tell your kid to buckle down, listen/take notes in class and ask for help.

The class is rigorous and drmanding, but not insurmountable.

If your kid got a C plus on her first assessment, I predict that she is on track for an A in the class, based on my sample of 3 plus all my friends' kids who took AP world in 10th.[/quote]

What HS?  Is there a specific grading style to AP World as compared to other classes?  Why isn’t this methodology shared with students and parents?  [/quote]
