Do private schools have it easier than normal publics?

<p>AP courses have workshops for teachers, hence the schools that do not have the money to send the teachers, thei students are at a disadvantage. The college board has been revamping exams, so if you are the first year to take one of these reformatted exams you are at a disadvantage. Also students who are at schools who throw alot of money at teaching to these tests (AP, SAT, ACT) or who have parents who pay for the tutors, books, and courses have scores they may otherwise wouldn’t. So who is more prepared for college the kid with the stellar ACT/SAT scores with no test prep or the kid with all the stellar scores with all the test prep due to advantages in life? On another note an AP exam can be taken only once whereas the other tests can be taken multiple times. Since many AP exams now have a writing component if you are weak on the specific question that is on your exam your score is going to be deflated. Its the luck of the draw on these exams and income plays into the results which skew the results. </p>
