So...I'm confused about the Core.

JHS- she is just worried about the placement test now (I know, go play outside, she actually is at the moment)

I know my comments were off the initial topic here, I guess I should start a new note, but again I am trying to distance myself from this as she is the one who would be going through this. Are the Classics classes reflective of the difficulty of the placement test, ie more “killer” than the other languages? And if I understand the course guide correctly, she could get credit for 3 quarters with the AP 4 score, 4 quarters if she gets a 5 this year, but the placement test might put her into the third quarter in that case she would only get the credit for what she skipped.

I’ll try to tie this back to other core questions- is the same thing the case with math or science, if an AP score places you out of some number of sections but not the complete requirement, but the test puts you in a lower section, under most circumstances you would start where the test placed you and forfeit some of the credits?

Thanks
