*edit:
and yeah, when it comes to the exam, you're no longer educating. literally the only important thing for both student and teacher at this point is the score
- ChuckMcM 9y agoIt was the really weird part about "AP" classes here in California. They teach you how to score well on the test for subject X but it is unclear that they impart any real understanding of subject X. And if you score well on the test for subject X you can skip taking it in college which sort of closes the loop on you ever learning the topic. Some teachers however take a better approach but certainly they aren't the common case.
