I just posted the scores for test #1. As promised, the test was challenging. The results were very mixed ... 25% earned an A or B while about 50% earned an F. Your score in gradespeed is your raw score. After analyzing the results, I have determined that a curve is appropriate (i.e., a number of the multiple choice questions were very challenging and had a lower percentage of students get them correct). I will share details tomorrow about what students will need to do to “earn” the curve.
I must say “nice work” to students who did well on this first test. For others, maybe this was just a rude awaking after the summer and after precalculus. As I have stated before, this course will challenge students unlike any other math class. Is it possible that some students did not believe me?
If it’s any consolation, my students from last year had similar results on this first test and they earned the best scores on the AP exam I have ever had.
