[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sons friend switched to DE after getting a 2 his first AP exam. I do not think it is the same but UMD accepts the credit so it checks a box.[/quote] Maybe the structure of DE works better for him. Instead of one magical bite at the apple on a single AP test at the end of the year he does better when he is graded over the course of the semester in a more balanced way. Maybe he got a D in his DE class. Maybe he was always planning to do a blend of AP and DE classes. A datapoint of one absent any context is not particularly instructive here. If anything DE for MCPS offers harder grading than AP since there is no rounding up of grades based on the averages over two quarters. Similarly there is no option to deselect taking the final. At least based on the previous grading policies DE felt much more risky and high pressure from a GPA and grading perspective.[/quote]
