[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s something weird about kids paying more for study help on AP exams in these elite schools. Surely the school would offer free exams and tutoring in the name of equity?[/quote] My kid studied on their own - no paying anyone else. For the courses that were most likely (History, Literature) the teachers spend a small amount of time IN CLASS to let them know what to expect on the test and what areas they may need to supplement on their own Personally, this is one reason why I find it so strange that the school generally tells parents/students it APs don't matter. Yet when it comes to AP test time, the teachers are clearly doing some AP prep and then the Juniors have no classes scheduled on the AP Lit and AP US test times. By then, it's way too late to sign up to take it. It always feels like mixed messaging and parents/kids feel duped (and I say this as a parent whose DC did take exams and ignored mixed messages from the school).[/quote]
