Unfortunately, No…..The class grade and the College Board are entirely separate entitiesYour child does not have to take the exam, although it is encouragedColleges and universities individually decide what score on the AP exam they will accept for credit
If you want to know what score the school you are interested in accepts, go to the school’s web site and search “AP credit”

Myth #3
My child doesn’t have to take the SOLs in history because he/she is enrolled in a college course
![Page 10: Welcome to AP World History! Have a seat. There are NO other handouts! Everything you need is online.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082418/5697bfc81a28abf838ca89fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Um, no…..
Students in AP courses are still required to take SOLsAP focuses on big picture ideas, while the SOLs focus on detailsWe cover these “details” after the AP exam and before the SOLs

Myth #4
Because this is a college course, it is graded as such and doesn’t follow other PFHS grading guidelines
![Page 12: Welcome to AP World History! Have a seat. There are NO other handouts! Everything you need is online.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082418/5697bfc81a28abf838ca89fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Wrong. We are all doing the same thing! Course Grading
Summative Assessments = 90%Formative Assessments = 10%
![Page 13: Welcome to AP World History! Have a seat. There are NO other handouts! Everything you need is online.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082418/5697bfc81a28abf838ca89fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Summative Assessments 90%Prove that you know it!Tests, Quizzes, NotebookRetakes allowed on Tests provided the student has turned in test correctionsThere is no deadline for retakesThe notebook can not be retaken, as it is a project grade
![Page 14: Welcome to AP World History! Have a seat. There are NO other handouts! Everything you need is online.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082418/5697bfc81a28abf838ca89fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Formative Assessments %10
Practice toward mastery!Includes Homework, Classwork

Myth #5
There are no cumulative tests in here because LCPS got rid of mid-term and final exams
![Page 16: Welcome to AP World History! Have a seat. There are NO other handouts! Everything you need is online.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082418/5697bfc81a28abf838ca89fb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Really? Of course we still have cumulative assessments!
Most tests in AP are cumulative anyway but there will most likely be a larger cumulative test given at the end of semester to give both me and your child an idea of where we stand
