How do colleges know your school's AP situation?

The problem with using AP scores as equalizers is that it is not the student’s fault that he received a poor score while earning a high grade in the class (e.g., getting a 2 on the AP and a A+ in the class); rather, it is the teacher’s fault, since he did not teach up to AP standards or employed significant grade inflation. Why should a college punish a student for having a poor teacher?

<p>They are not punishing the student. They don’t want to give credit to students who are not qualified to receive credit so they need a grade equalizer. That is schools fault not college board. If you get a 2 on the AP, even if it is because you have a crappy teacher, you don’t have the understanding of the material that is required to get credit. Yes it sucks balls but that is not college boards fault, it is the school’s for hiring a crappy teacher.</p>
