[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are the Basis kids doing on the AP calc exam?  If most of the kids are scoring 4 or 5, then they're not "superficially" advanced.  [/quote]

Basis kids generally refuse to take AP exams unless they believe they’ll pass. So what you really want to know is what % take the exam. But only Basis knows the answer to that question, and there’s no reason for them to tell us. [/quote]

What is your source?  As a BASIS family I can tell you this isn’t how it works.

Someone posted on here that at Basis, the AP score affects your final grade, so taking an AP you don’t expect to pass means voluntarily trashing your GPA. But you say that’s not true?[/quote]

No, that is 100 percent true. Your grade in an AP class in June is not final.  It is revised to reflect your AP score.

My point is that people are making statements without support to back them up. It’s abundantly clear that poster is not a BASIS family b/c kids are not refusing to take the AP to keep their GPAs up.  [/quote]

If a student opts out of AP, does that mean they keep their grade? That's insane. [/quote]
