[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might need your tutor. We got DD a tutor but she got an 85 on her Unit 1B test. Sigh![/quote]

An 85 in AP Pre Calc is not bad. I think some of you have really unrealistic expectations tbh [/quote]

I'm OP and this is the discussion we are having. It's OK to not get an A in the class. Everyone hits the wall of what is hard. Sometimes there is a class we struggle with. It's ok to set the goal as something other than an A in the class. So we talked about aiming for a B. Maybe you'll get an A but a B is perfectly acceptable.

DC has gotten A's in all honors math up until now. DC has A's in all other classes (at the end of the quarter, that is, we'll see how it goes) which are all AP/DE. So to me, a B in AP precalc is acceptable, maintains everyone's sanity, etc. I'd be so happy for DC if a B is attained.

We also opted out of the AP exam for this class.

It’s a good talk to have. I get a lot of kids never got below an A in an honors class but AP moves at an accelerated pace and pre Calc isn’t easy. It would be like adding 25 lbs to your previous max weight lift in the gym and being mad you couldn't get as many reps as before. Even 1-2 reps of a much heavier weight is good but if you expected to crank out the same reps as before, you might think you’re doing bad. [/quote]
