^ Yea, I would have agreed with you except for the fact that my teacher sucked. My AP Lit class was similar to yours in grading, except with a nice curve at the end the first semester (when it was still listed as Eng. III Hons.) The grades were pretty accurate reflections on what people got on the exam.
My AP USH class on the other hand, our teacher basically talked at the front of the room 40% of the time, and the rest of the time we just hung out for that 1 1/2 hr. block. It was great for napping or bringing in breakfast from Panera or Chick-Fil-A. He would assign huge amounts of questions for homework, so we would split it up 10 ways and send each other the answers. He knew about it and didn't seem to care. Also, we all basically failed every one of his tests (well I usually got C's and D's haha) but he gave us a lot of points back if we did "test corrections." All this made me have to buy two review books and cram the week before the test in order to do well on the AP exam.
These classes were both my junior year, and I was surprised that I walked away with a 5 in USH and only a 4 in Lit. I guess it was just because I suck at English MC >.<
