At my kids HS the AP class grade is completely independent of the AP test grade. In fact, the AP kids are encouraged to take the AP test but they do not have to.
I’m glad it works this way as some teachers are better than others. If the class grade were dependent on the AP test grade, I would see that as a major disadvantage to those students who were in a class where either the teacher didn’t “teach to the test” or the teacher was not a good teacher.
The AP teachers at my kids HS run the full gamut. The best one actually helps grade AP tests in her subject…
