[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally disagree that APs are “easier.” I’ve also found the DE kids are generally less prepared than ones who take AP classes. My son took BC Cal as a junior and scored a 3 but 4 on AB subsection. He just finished is freshman fall at UMD and earned an A grade, which only about 20 percent of students do.[/quote] Please share your experience with MCPS DE students being less well prepared than students who take the same class via AP.[/quote] Community College does not offer the same level of rigor as a University. It’s always the advice for kids to Cal2 Orgo etc at CC and transfer the credits in because they are “easier”. With AP classes, you have to not only take the class but have to score a 4 or 5 on the exam. Everyone whose kid we know that got 4s/5s on the AP exams were well prepared. Several friends with kids in DE flunked out no one we knew did that with 4s and 5s. Most graduates with honors etc. [/quote]
