You're going to have to explain the new system to me then, as our practice exams were out of 5 points, as it appears the AP exams are still based on. I've also done those practice essays...and you only have to do one essay now? We had to do 2 out of 3.
I mistook this for being a regular points based test, where his score would be a 66.6, not an AP practice exam.
I actually have taken an AP English test. Around 8 years ago. Literature and Composition. Apparently things have changed since then. It does not appear they have done so for the better.
Well I guess now I'm going to appear like a bitter old man since back when I took the AP's every essay regardless of subject stressed being able to back up your opinion with evidence from either the material provided or from knowledge gleaned from the classes, not appeals to emotion. This was in addition to testing knowledge of the subject the AP was in (ie. English, American History, European History, etc.)
And he keeps bragging too. To people who've probably scored better than him on the exams he's taking.
It also appears, according to wikipedia, that I've taken two of the no longer offered AP exams...
