<p>I sympathize with khoitrinh. Speaking from an instructor’s position, I hope that isn’t rampant. I know that the idea behind having teachers submit a syllabus to CB, should help correct some of that. Of course submission of a nice syllabus doesn’t ensure that teachers grades are similar, but I check myself with the sample essays we have access to.</p>
<p>My “A” students generally make 4 or 5 on the test, and my “B” students make 3s. We don’t have “Ds”, so my “Cs” are usually 2s. There is some crossover, some disappointing and some exciting, but we try to maintain a positive correlation between grades and scores. I haven’t ever had a student come to me and ask for a bump because of performance on the test, but I doubt our AP coordinator would be pleased to hear of grade changing.</p>
