<p>Actually, there are no classes after AP exams for all the APs!</p>

<p>Love it. But I fear that the authors must be stalking my daughter.</p>

<p>$86?? It was $100 last year at my high school :(</p>

<p>Love it- especially #1- Advanced Procrastinator. Many of the others did not apply to my son or some of the other top students, especially heavy workload ones. </p>

<p>In our district AP classes do meet until the end of the school year and there is a final then that helps determine the semester grade in the course. The AP teachers need material into the first week of June, after teaching the required material from September to May. It is interesting that students can do just as well if not better on AP exams with up to a month less preparation- a lot depends on having a good AP teacher.</p>

<p>No MissyPie, they’re stalking MY house :wink: Especially the Facebook part. D has actually jumped up to check her planner if all the AP kids are on line after 10pm, because that must mean that somethings due by 11:59pm and she forgot…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>They consulted my kids on this one. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I’m an AP kid, and I have to admit, a lot of these apply to me.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Now WHERE have I seen this exhibited? :)</p>
