happyhome Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Does anyone have experience getting a syllabus approved by the College Board for AP Calculus AB? Our online class isn’t going to work out, so I’m looking at other options. We use Chalkdust and AoPS so I’m thinking about creating our own class, but I could use some btdt advice.

Srtepe Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I think the deadline is passed to get it approved for this year, but you might want to google that to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCB Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I don't know how important it is to have the class as an approved class. I think the main thing is taking the exam and the score you get on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhome Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 So the deadline is actually in January and I was able to get a syllabus approved!! She wanted National AP Scholar and was one AP class away from getting that distinction. Not sure how important that is given that most kids are taking so many APs/dual enrollment now, but it’s done. Thanks all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Doesn't the National AP Scholar denomination depend on the number of exams and the score rather than the number of AP classes taken? That's what I remember from when my oldest was in high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhome Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Yes, that’s true but she needed one more AP class to achieve that goal, assuming she gets a good score.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Yes, but the class doesn't need to be with an approved syllabi-it's just based on the exams Edited August 24, 2018 by freesia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
