I'd be ok if they had webcame and audio recording but if they haven't mentioned that yet, then it's not happening.

One of dd's teachers said that they plan to send the AP teacher a copy of the test to see if they can spot red flag. Don't know how many teachers would do this but it wouldn't be systematic-- what do they do if a kid slacked off all year but studied the month before and did better than expected?

It would work, though, if they actually had the camera/audio going... each teacher could do the proctoring for their own students...

Look into how the College Board assigns scores for AP test results.

Will colleges even accept these bogus test scores for credit? Just another money grab by the College Board.

NP. You are an idiot to say that, and do not really deserve an explanation.

Rat them out. AP has different things in place to help detect cheating, but hopefully the consequence of being caught (telling colleges) is a big deterrent.

I personally know some parents who plan to ‘help’ their kid on the AP exam. Some kids have older siblings who are planning on taking the AP exams for their younger sister/brother.. how is this fair?

It's not fair. The people you know are creeps, and I hope you told them so.

Not OP- but I agree. Online AP exams are meaningless. Might as well just give everyone a 5 and be done with it

So, what do you think the College Board should do instead?
