Interesting way of teaching ap's...what do you think?

<p>My school has a weird way of teaching ap courses…for example…
(our courses are year long by the way)
in ap calc ab: the syllabus is already complete and we’re just doing review until may…
apes: syllabus is already complete…now we’re doign a free response question a week …
ap stats: syllabus will be done in a week…and they are spending the rest of the year reviewing…</p>

<p>do any of your schoos cram for 4months and then review for the rest of the year?</p>

<p>we’re almost done with the calc syllabus. should be done by beginning of march. </p>

<p>then just review</p>

<p>other than that all my ap teachers teach for the entire year.</p>

<p>APUSH - Teach All Year until May AP.
AP Lang - Teach All Year until May AP.
AP Psych - Teach All Year until May AP</p>

<p>PATTERNNN</p>

<p>AP Art History - teach all year then review after school and even on weekends
AP US - situation is hopeless; we are just starting Reconstruction</p>

<p>Every class is half year long in my school. Teach 4 months then exam or teach 4 months wait another 4 months then exam(in case the class is taught during first semester)</p>

<p>We get about 2 or 3 weeks for review. So we wrap up everything by Spring Break (in early April usually) and then when we get back it’s just review review review.</p>

<p>Not at my school. In bio, the chance of us finishing before May is next to nothing. I am thinking that I will need to open my Campbell book and read 10 chapters or so for the exam.</p>

<p>And for the past couple AP classes I took, none of the class actually finished teaching the materials before the exam.</p>

<p>The AP classes I’m in this year barely address the fact that there is a cumulative AP exam. Though the curricula are obviously centered around the test, we don’t really do any outright AP test prep. Thus, the classes are taught like regular advanced classes that teach like advanced classes all the way till May or the end of the year.</p>

<p>review for AP tests in class?? um, no…not here…</p>

<p>i guess it makes sense. a lot of these ap classes are one-semester college courses so they’re just treating you like you’ll be treated in college. but it’s probably a bad idea for two-semester courses like physics and calc bc.</p>

<p>In high school all of my AP courses were one semester long and taught first semester. We struggled often to do the entire curriculum in September, October, November, December, and half of January. If you wanted review for the AP exam second semester, well, you did it yourself.</p>
