[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. Some of my strongest students in my AP classes are terrible test takers. I’ve never considered a score to be a solid indicator of college readiness. I have 20 years of experience watching average test takers (but great students) move on to strong colleges and advanced degrees. I have a relative with two masters and a PhD (all from great colleges) and he bombed the SAT and the GRE.

My own child just scored a 2 on one of his exams. I’m not that upset, and neither is he. He’ll be prepared for college and that score isn’t going to keep him out.

I’m the PP. Help me out here. Is this suppose to be an insult?

I don’t understand why people are fighting this. You can be successful without doing well on AP exams. (We all acknowledge there are plenty of students who don’t even attempt AP, correct? Are they also doomed to failure as adults?)

Acknowledging AP isn’t the only path to success doesn’t detract from the success of those who do well on these exams.[/quote]

I don’t understand this anger either. Maybe PP is threatened because his/her kid got a 5 and doesn’t want to muddy the waters. I appreciate your perspective. I agree that performance on a standardized test and mastery of the subject matter are not mutually exclusive.[/quote]
