Is a 5 on the AP test = A?

“Starting this year, schools can’t slap an AP label on just any course.”

That is so great!

At our high school, AP classes are REALLY HARD and people do great jobs on the AP tests. At another local high school whose name I will not mention, the kids say that the AP classes are easy and everyone gets A’s on them and not many of the kids take the AP tests at all. I always thought it was annoying that, for example, a B in AP World History looked the same on a transcript from either school. Although the colleges admissions departments “know” many high schools, don’t they?
