So what happens after the AP tests?

<p>Our school does not monitor whether the kids take AP exams. They are not formally required by the AP classes. Also, it is not uncommon for kids to take APs for which they have self-studied rather than taken formal classes.</p>

<p>Our school runs until the 3rd week of June, so there is >1month after APs. During that time, the classes study topics beyond what is in the AP curriculum. </p>

<p>e.g.:
AP Calculus is learning delta-epsilon proofs and convergence.
AP Chem is doing a survey of organic chemistry.
AP US History is making video projects, and holding formal debates of current events.</p>

<p>The classes all held “mock APs” prior to the actual tests, and count those grades in lieu of end-of-year comprehensive finals. However, they use the final exams period to test on the post-AP topics, and weight that in to the overall semester grades.</p>
