[quote=Hobie]High school kids are prepping for AP tests in May now. With Calif schools closing I wonder how the scores will fare against those states that have not closed.
Rise in Kaplin type specific study on-line coarses.
Again, this might be the turning point for on-line education vs. in person university classrooms.[/quote]
Don’t worry, concerned parent.
We, the College Board will come up with some adversity score that will make for any deficit due to the lack of preparation students on the west coast have. Your only issue is might be that you have to be poor or one of the protected groups to qualify. Asians, Indians, caucasians, you are expected to spend your own money for after school enrichment since you guys are all wealthy and have a disproportionate unfair financial advantage and wealth inequality. You guys study all the time anyway, so things like a pandemic outbreak shouldn’t affect that A++ you are always suppose to get under any circumstances since you guys are known for doing that…always studying. In fact, now that school is closed, most of you Asian, indian, and well to do Caucasian families have more time to prepare for the AP tests, since you aren’t suppose to go out of your house anyway. So you guys are lucky if you don’t get a penalty score for the extra time you now have to prepare for the AP.
Then again, if the east coast defers closing schools and later has an outbreak requiring schools to be closed later anyway, maybe the west coast will be the only kids taking the test, and then since it’s curved, everyone has the same level of preparation anyway, well except the Asian, indian, and well to do Caucasian kids where we were expecting you to study during the school closures anyway.. Then the penalty score still might apply to you.

Former AP student…. I never found classrooms to be that useful for acing the APs. If there was a diagnosis , I probably would have had adhd since incant sit still in a classroom….locking myself in the library going through a bunch of practice tests the last 3 weeks did. Could have skipped the first year and a half of college. I ended up repeating the classes to get easy A’s lol
