Lowering grade in class after AP Scores come in?

<p>Is it realistic to expect my grade to drop from, say, an A to a C/B if i get a 2 or 1 on the AP test? This is for AP English Lang., and I felt I wasn't properly prepared for the exam and was feeling off during exam day. My school does NOT usually change grades after AP, but I was wondering if it is possible.</p>

<p>We don’t go to your school and therefore cannot answer your question. Ask your teacher.</p>

<p>I was just wondering if anyone had any experiences where they had an A in the class and after they received an undesirable ap score, there final grade drops?</p>

<p>Anything is possible. I’ve heard of people getting bumps after getting 5’s or things similar. I don’t think I’ve heard of grades being lowered, however.</p>

<p>If the school never said anything about it, it’s not going to happen…</p>

<p>yeah, </p>

<p>some schools have policy of giving a student a better grade if they pass the exam. </p>

<p>You would know if your school did.</p>

<p>So, assuming a school doesn’t usually practice changing grades after AP, do teachers have the freedom to go against this policy and still change grades? Would it be illegal or frowned upon for a teacher to do this?</p>

<p>I wasn’t saying what I was saying to be mean. We literally have no idea whether your teachers have the authority to do that because each school has its own policy. Instead of speculating, it would be much simpler to just ask your teacher whether or not s/he does it.</p>

<p>Generally, the answer is no, they won’t do it because then they have to go through the arduous task of modifying report cards, transcripts, etc. so as a result they usually reserve changing grades post-grading period for errors/mistakes. That being said, we have absolutely no way for us to know, so just ask your teacher.</p>

<p>According to my teacher who has a masters in education says it’s against the rules to change the grade because of the ap test in either direction but teachers still do it. (he doesn’t bump)</p>
