[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]09:52 again. My son is a rising senior, and with hindsight, I can see that the grade in the class only reflects the potential AP score IF the teacher is an experienced and intelligent teacher. There are two components to an AP class: teaching the material, and preparing students for the test. If you do the former but not the latter, given that a lot of the AP tests required responses written in a specific way, the student will not do well on the test.

After that difficult first pandemic year, my son had a mix of excellent teachers, and 2 duds, who did not prepare him adequately. But with experience, he could tell that he was not being prepared, and we hired tutors to bolster those two classes. That's because my son is a perfectionist, and he hates not having a top score. Otherwise obviously I'd have saved my money![/quote]

This. For one of my kid’s AP classes this year, the teacher was not only still teaching new material up to the test, but a big chunk of the last unit was taught after the test. [/quote]
