What is your reaction to the AP's grading system and its effects on education and students?
I'm 3 years past my AP testing, but I can't help but think that the number of schools who force students taking classes (even if they know they are unprepared or don't take them seriously) to take the AP test actually bring down the overall knowledge level of students who 'pass' via their pseudo-relative grading scale. Its not totally their fault but when the lowest scores are so low that pulls down the minimum for a 3 or higher.
