<p>so do they retake a different exam or the same 1?</p>
<p>That’s awful. Last year at a school near mine… an adult literally threw away probably several hundred AP government tests because they thought they were trash. The students had to retake in the summer. I’m not too sure how a big box of sealed test material looks like trash, but it happens…</p>
<p>Has anybody ever heard of collegeboard ever tossing an entire school’s AP scores over testing irregularities before? I’ve noticed examples of CB throwing a single student’s scores or every student on one particular exam but not all of the exams from one school. If you are aware of this please give specifics so I can research and compare that case to this one.</p>
<p>Haha seriously they had 300 kids do AP stats? or maybe I’m mistaken.Anyways yeah my school Hilltop beat their butts on a local quiz show called “brainwave” anyone hear of that show?</p>
<p>why would you cheat on ap stats?</p>
<p>that’s definitely one of the easier exams</p>
<p>So I went to Trabuco and it seems like some of you guys are interested in what’s been happening with this whole AP test fiasco…
10 kids were caught cheating… which led to people figuring out that we were 1 or 2 proctors short in the testing rooms… which led to them throwing out 690 tests taken by 375 students (the tests were Statistics, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Biology, US History, European History, English Literature, Calculus AB/BC, and Chemistry). </p>
<p>They’re offering make up tests (totally different versions from the ones we took) August 11-15 and only on those dates. If you’re busy, you’re screwed and you don’t get those credits. If you choose (or are busy those dates) to not take the tests, you’ll get a full refund. A lot of the students though are going to be gone that week for vacations, college orientations, ASB camp, cross country camp, college visits, internships, etc. and therefore can’t retake those tests. Personally, I’ll be out of town and won’t be able to retake my four tests that were cancelled and therefore lose 24 credits that could go towards college. </p>
<p>Not only is it hard to remember all of the information, but our tests will be curved to those taken in May, which is kind of unfair due to the fact that they had it fresh in their minds. We don’t have text books to study from and we don’t have teachers to study with. As of now, we are all unified in a group called Justice for 375 and we might be filing a lawsuit against ETS and collegeboard to get our scores back. </p>
<p>ETS is also charging 40 dollars with each retake test taken (which the Saddleback Valley Unified School District will be paying; thats a maximum of 18,000 dollars).</p>
<p>Also an interesting fact:
In the movie STAND AND DELIVER… they have a substitute teacher that takes over the class for awhile while the main Calculus teacher is hurt from some injury. This movie is based on a true story and in reality, my Calculus teacher at Trabuco Hills was the real substitute for the teacher… Interesting huh?</p>
<p>NO it wasn’t 300 kids taking just Stats as I read the latest article. All of the tests are being thrown out because there were so many irregularities with the proctoring etc…proctors falling asleep, students facing each other and sitting too close, texting going on. The bummer as the Trabuco Hills student above states is that the CB is giving one particular date to re-take. Some kids have plans made long ago, some students no longer have their notes (you know how you tear them all up in celebration?!), books are locked up in the schools, teachers are not around. It’s a bad situation entirely and the affected students are trying to fight the CB. Good luck with that one.</p>
<p>I would sue! That is so unfair!</p>
<p>yikes that stinks for all of them… and i totally watched “stand and deliver” in ap calc!!! hahaha</p>
