[quote=Anonymous]My hs junior has had a few AP classes between last year and this year. Each of his teachers approach this issue a little differently, probably because the subjects and associated exams are different, so there's no one right answer. But one of his classes this year has an approach that I do like. The homework is considered practice and given minimal weight in their grade, but is reflective of the exam in terms of difficulty. So it gives the kids a decent idea of where they stand on exam prep. Tests are reflective of the exam (which is apparently one of the harder ones, with generally low scores nationwide) ... but then they get a chance to "re-do" what they missed on the test for extra credit. So they can bring their grade up, but it's still totally clear to the student where they stand in terms of readiness for the exam. [/quote]
