[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Freshman son got a 3 on AP World.  He was happy with it, and honestly I was relieved that he passed.  He got an A in the course and had an excellent teacher.  He said that he wished he had studied more, but his writing skills still need some work.  I'm grateful for what he learned in the class, particularly around writing.  AP World is the only option for 9th graders at his private, and he'll take AP Modern European next year.  (Again, the only AP option for his grade.)  If he could just pull 3s and 4s from here on out, I'd be fine with it.  He's a great kid but not destined for a T20.[/quote]

It's pretty insane to expect a 9th grader to do well on AP World History, PP. In MCPS it's usually taken in 11th grade, and believe me, those two years of extra maturity and organizational skills count for a lot. World History is the hardest humanities AP, period. Far more work than US History and US Gov& Pol/NSL. Far harder than European History (it'll be a breeze next year).

You could mention to the school that their AP order is completely messed up.[/quote]

DCPS does AP World in 10th grade and APUSH in 11th. AP Gov in 12th.
