[PA Engineer]

The 18-year-old did poorly on the exam, even though he was getting good grades in an Advanced Placement English class at Long Beach's Robert A. Millikan High School.

This does not make any sense. We paid for my Daughter to take the AP exams for college credit. These were scored from 1 to 5. A score of 4 or 5 was accepted for her General Education Credits and She was able to skip most of those courses (16 credits). It appears they do not use the national exam, but some local community college hybrid.

The national exams weed out those students who benefited from grade inflation. The local exam alone was a bad idea. Their new requirements are insanity.

The national exams weed out those students who benefited from grade inflation. The local exam alone was a bad idea. Their new requirements are insanity. I thought All the AP exams were national exams, that is why they are accepted across state lines. Is my understanding incorrect?
