I don’t even know where S’s final grades are right now, but somewhere around 78 in AP Calc. In reality it wouldn’t have changed anything if he got an A after getting a 5 on the test, since he had already been accepted, given scholarships, and registered at college by the time the AP grades came out. </p>
<p>It is my personal opinion that a course is about more than an AP score, and if the instructor wants to see a broader spectrum of performance that is his/her prerogative. OTOH, I don’t really care for it when they award points for getting mom to sign their progress reports.</p>
