[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP physics 1 was abysmal this year—lots of kids with As in the class but 1s on the test. I think the teacher only taught 1/2 the units…[/quote]

Whoa, that's awful! Which school? My SWW kid got a 5 on that test this year.[/quote]

Did many in the class also get 5s?  AP scores tend to be based more on the kid (and the work they do prepping for the test) vs a teacher/class unless you have a teacher that is very motivated by how well their kids perform on the test (which doesn’t seem like many).

Honestly…I don’t understand why teachers don’t spend the last 2-4 weeks prior to the test, doing test prep.[/quote]

Most teachers do spend a few weeks doing test prep.  Why would you make such a generalized statement as if teachers don’t care?[/quote]

Because several of my kid’s did none…my kid was pretty motivated to do well so independently studied, but the teachers could have cared less how their students performed in the test.

When I say motivated…there are some teachers that explicitly state in September that almost 100% get a 3 or higher with 75% of the class scoring 4 or higher.

Maybe extreme the other way, but you know they really care about the test.[/quote]
