<p>My guess is it effects very few students. You would have to screw up pretty badly for a college to rescind it’s admissions offer by July. I actually like this idea - a grade is a good motivator for students that may be taking the AP to satisfy their parents or just because it’s required, but value grades more highly.</p>
<p>However, my question is really not about grades, it’s about class activities for schools that have three or four weeks of class time after the AP tests. So far it sounds like schools that have that length of time do what we do and that’s projects or finals. I like the fun project idea and someone said something about digging deeper into a subject that was perhaps skimmed during the regular year. The goal that our school has is to somehow encourage more students to take the tests (not including seniors that have good reasons NOT to take certain ones) and also to keep the students engaged after the AP test.</p>
