[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is currently Sophomore at TJ.

Taking pre-calc.

Half the class is struggling. Latest test, mid-term - class average was 62 - thats a F.

You can imagine what this does to college applications.

Unless ur kid is out of this world smart and good at math - TJ is not good for college applications.

Base school has many of the same courses up to AP Calc BC and no reason to stress at TJ[/quote]

The fukken games these teachers play with grades is criminal.    A kid getting a B will get a 5 on the AP exam in a lot of classes[/quote]

Yep - Calc BC grade of C+ and 5 on the AP exam.[/quote]

There should be a rule about that.  That is borderline abusive.

AP Calc BC vast majority around the country score a 5.[/quote]

Just looked for 2024: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/about-ap-scores/score-distributions
Only 21% get a 5, so not vast majority. Vast majority (64%) get 3+

Exam/Score          5              4              3              2                1	        +3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AP Calculus AB	21.4%	27.8%	15.3%	22.7%	12.9%	64.4%[/quote]
AP Calculus BC	47.7%	21.1%	12.1%	13.9%	5.2%	80.9%[/quote]

Yeah for BC, taken by most advanced students, close to 50% get a 5 [/quote]

Yes.  And?  It's ~50% getting an A obscene?  [/quote]

Are you new to the AP testing system?  Getting a 5 is not an accomplishment.  The teachers have to grade harder than the AP exam to ensure that the kids have actually learned the material.
