The word “passed” is relative. Some institutions require a grade of 3 or above. Others require 4 or 5 to obtain college credit. 1 to 5 is the range of possibilities for AP test takers.

Thanks for this. I was a teacher at a school where “making thinking visible” and daily, weekly and end of term “reflections” consumed endless hours of teacher and student time. Is it a surprise that they have entirely dropped AP courses in favor of “deep learning initiatives”? Or that school leadership dropped the ideal of academic rigor in favor of “intellectual rigor”?
