Is this that unusual? I'm sure there are many teachers out there whose entire classes passed.

I'm pretty sure in high school, my entire class passed. It was unusual for people to fail APs. (My high school only admitted the top 2% scorers on an admission test, so it was biased towards high exam scorers.)

Yeah, I'll second that. I know at my high school (a private one) the AP Chem class had all 5s for 10+ years.

[solipsism]

All 5s on the AP Chem test for 10+ years? Absolutely not possibly. If it happened there would be many news stories about it.

I think you underestimate some private schools. At least at mine, high level APs would have only 10ish specially approved students with a professor who'd taught the class forever. Our calc BC professor had supposedly only had 3 non-5s in his decade or two of teaching the course. Besides that, if a professor suspected you wouldn't pass, you would just be asked to not take the exam. Don't think I ever heard of someone actually failing one.

Yes this is very unusual. Considering the socioeconomic background of the area.

[ghshephard]

It's unusual to the point of being unbelievable for Lincoln High.

What was the socioeconomic make-up of your community?

Stuy?
