[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you take an Ap class, and want to get the GPA bump for it, you should have to take the exam -- or take a similarly lengthy challenging final exam administered by your teacher.

If you skip the exam the high school should not weight your grade for that class.

A final exam is part of the course. [/quote]

[b]Public schools abuse the AP system. They give a full one grade higher for these courses but there is no final.  I think the AP final needs to count as part of the actual class grade. So easy to to just not bother. Pisses me off. [/b][/quote]

Not at my children's public high schools. They have a final AND the AP exam. Joy.[/quote]

BASIS charter schools factor the AP exam scores into students' final grades (they re-calculate / re-issue report cards in July).

You have to take at least 6 AP classes + exams to graduate. If you decide to take more AP classes and skip the final for any, you must take a final exam that counts heavily in your final grade.
