<p>I understand that many of you sign up at AP Central as teachers and/or administrators in order to access the information that the college board gives out. If the college board ever found out about it (any precedents?), would they consider it cheating as a I would have a percieved unfair advantage over other AP students?</p>
<p>I think that’s pretty low…and I hope they get 3s at most on their tests.</p>
<p>but that’s just me.</p>
<p>I am not sure about any ethical conflicts – the info you recieve as a teacher is mostly about curriculum and topics on the test. I homeschool my son and signed up on at the CB as a teacher for his AP subjects – I can tell you, there are no secrets being given out. The most helpful information so far has been other teacher’s sample essay questions and the best textbooks to use.</p>
<p>CB does not give out answers to its tests, simple as that. Signing up as a teacher is fine as far as I see. Wouldnt it be unfair for indep study kids to not have the same knowledge as other people. I have been given what CB gives to their teachers and it is basically a manual of what topics to cover and sample sylabi. They talk about tb and the differences between the tests. There are 1 practice test each in them. I do not see how this is cheating.</p>
<p>ok good beause I am self-studying and just trying to even the playing field but i dont want it to be interpreted wrong. Thanks for answering my question</p>
<p>If it’s a real issue, then I’m pretty sure CB would make it harder to sign up as a teacher.</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s a real problem. It’s almost the same as asking your teacher to print out some of the past years’ test questions for you.
It even saves paper!</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree with kayrlis. My AP Latin teachers used to give us previous year’s practice tests for various exercises.</p>
<p>so we’re allowed to sign up as a teacher if we’re self-studying? I mean, you are technically teaching yourself.</p>
<p>You should be a rebel. Sign up even if you are not self studying. Rules are meant to be broken, or else we wouldnt have jails.</p>
<p>I think by signing up as a teacher and reading student’s responses to past tests, you are halfway on your goal to get a 5. This site is essential for success in the AP exams and only fools would resist from taking advantage of the opportunity.</p>
<p>As suggested by this topic, I did last night.</p>
<p>It is not a big deal. As someone already said, you don’t see the answers to the MC section. My AP Bio told us to sign as teachers so we can see how collegeboard grades the free-response essays. It was really helpful.</p>
<p>Are there any places online which give free past AP tests?</p>
<p>lol my AP Biology teacher told us to sign up as a teacher for the practice essays</p>
<p>Wow. I def did this last year and didn’t think twice. Don’t see a problem with it.</p>
<p>I bet arctic monkey signed up by now lol.</p>
<p>Ive been an Art History Teacher for over a year now…</p>
<p>LOL…Apparently, I’ve taught AP Language & Composition and AP U.S. History for two years. That’s what I told the site, anyway.</p>
<p>I should look into the bio. and Spanish, too, though, sicne I also have those…blech…There’s too much to study.</p>
