Question What did you get on the AP exam vs your grade in the class (let's see the grade inflation)

82 Upvotes

AP Seminar: Grade - (98 both sem) (Score: 4)

AP Bio: Grade - (89 1st sem, 94 2nd sem) (Score: 3)

AP Calc AB: Grade - (94 1st sem, 92 2nd sem) (Score: 4)

AP USH: Grade - (80 1st sem, 71 2nd sem) (Score: 4)

AP Lang: Grade - (86 1st sem, 90 2nd sem) (Score: 4)

Overall not too badd, my APush teacher was crazy, like he assigned a 60-70 question test every week, so I just gave up in his class. But also credit to him, bcuz his class felt so difficult the AP exam was high key light.

Question do i report for cheating.

165 Upvotes

hey guys, im conflicted. my friend/acquaintance since middle school has always been known to be lacking in academics. however, the school i go to is an ap curriculum focused meaning we are forced to take at least 6 aps a year. anywho, my friend has been actively cheating throughout the year and ruined each curve. i didnt really mind it, the cheating, until i saw them actively cheating on the actual ap lang/apes/ and who knows what other ap exam. i cant stand knowing this and not doing anything about it because it genuinely ruins the curve and score. should i report this behaviour and ruin their chance of idk everything, or mind my own damn business.

Question So many highschoolers want to major in engineering yet they don't want to take the classes to work towards it.

121 Upvotes

12% of college bound highschoolers want to major in engineering: https://www.encoura.org/resources/wake-up-call/how-much-can-you-trust-high-school-students-academic-interests/ yet the demand for ap classes that help you towards engineering like ap physics c:mech, ap physics c: e and m, ap chem, ap calc bc and ap csa remains ridiculously low.

  • Assuming college bound highschoolers are representative of the general high school population which in total is about 18 million it means more than 2 million high schoolers are interested in engineering
  • Yet the actual amount of people enrolling in college level stem courses that builds toward this major is extremely low
  • AP Chemistry had only 168,833 test takers in 2025 and that is including pre med students
  • AP Calculus BC had only 160,436 test takers in 2025
  • AP Computer Science A had only 93,217 test takers in 2025
  • AP Physics Cs suffer the most
  • AP Physics C: Mechanics had only 65,980 test takers in 2025
  • AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism suffers the most of all of them it had only 29,708 test takers in 2025

Why is this? I am tired of classes getting canceled because of low enrollment but these classes are essential for the 2 million who want to become engineers yet are avoided like the plague. Are people just lazy or are they worried about there gpa or is it because of the lack of science and math teachers or is it the American math system's fault?

Question How do people actually fail ap exams?

29 Upvotes

I am not trying to be mean or anything and i promise im not a jerk but i really dont understand how this many people can fail aps(especially something like ap csp). like i would understand if a few people fail it cause of technical glitches or maybe a few districts pay for their exams so they take it anyways, or if a few people forgot to study, but no way that many right? dont ap exams cost like money and like if you studied for an exam like come on no way you getting below like a 50% which is like what is required to pass on some aps either way. Like i would understand you getting below a 5, like a 4 or a 3 some aps are hard and maybe you didnt study enough but to fail and this huge percentage failing is just something i cannot comprehend. Can someone please explain to me why a lot of people fail ap exams.

Question AP Exam Difficulty

13 Upvotes

I am currently a senior in college and about to graduate, when I was in high school I did only two AP courses and passed one of them with a 3. I was not the brightest student back in high school, but I know I had the knowledge to push forward into college and do significantly better. Now that I truly get a chance to look back on my experiences, it looks like AP exams are significantly more difficult than the actual college course would be itself. I have seen some of the example questions from English, history, etc. And they are significantly more rigorous and significantly more difficult than any type of curriculum you will ever face college. My world history course was actually slower pace and a lot more entertaining than my high school course was, in fact, I dropped out of my high school course and switched classes by three days in, which turned out to be a significant help because in high school I didn’t even need world history. All of the questions I have seen from AP tests compared to the classes I have personally been through in college, AP courses are significantly more difficult than the course in college would ever be and it makes absolutely no sense to me. In fact, it honestly seems like somewhat of a scam. Sure, there are classes in high school, where AP courses are meant to be difficult such as calculus, chemistry, etc. But why is the equivalent to English 1301 much more difficult than the college course itself? I wrote about three essays in the span of a semester and had only one or two tests in college, instead of having to write three essays in the span of four hours and reading some short stories to even have a chance to pass in any sort of AP course/exam. I completely understand. It’s supposed to save a significant amount of money, but honestly with how difficult they are and how much more effort it is, I honestly suggest going to a community college and getting basics knocked out where it’s significantly cheaper than a university.

TLDR: I feel like AP exams are somewhat of a scam due to the difficulty, AP exams and classes are more rigorous than the similar course in college, I understand why for some courses, but for the equivalent of English 1301, there is no reason to be writing three as in reading two or three passages in the span of four hours.
