![UCF Professor Richard Quinn accuses class of cheating [Original]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rbzJTTDO9f4/mqdefault.jpg)
College Board is a monopoly on education
it needs to be abolished
Education is much easier as one system to make it more equal, but when it becomes a business, the monopoly starts to demonstrate its flaws
So to combat this problem a pigovian tax would be good as it seems like the college board wouldn't exit the market because its total revenue is much greater than total cost. however, collegeboard like most of education is a positive externality, to which the solution would be to subsidize to collegeboard, internalizing the externality, to shift supply/mc to the right. So without numbers to calculate whether the DWL or externality not being realized is more significant, an economic policy cannot be determined.
Education (just like Healthcare) should not be a business. Period.
Richard LOL they still got ACT so itâs more like a oligopoly
The idea of guessing if a student cheated is absolutely stupid. I had a friend who took the SAT in freshmen year and received somewhere around 1100. He literally studied every weekend for a year and almost everyday during the summer for his sophomore year. He took the SAT again in his junior year and college board decided to nullify his score because "he improved too much for the second time taking the test" (the mock test he took was around 1500s). He was also banned from taking any more test from college board (both SAT and AP). He tried to contacted college board and basically got BS responses. His issue was never resolved.
Bro that story is insane, the entire system has so many flaws that continued to be exposed. I hope we see some changes after these past few years and hope that didn't ruin your friends chances of accomplishing what he wanted for college.
This actually makes me mad. Collegeboard has been doing some bullshit things in the past but this can literally ruin someoneâs future.
Tell your friend to sue.
i bet that's classic asian discrimination
That's wack.
i feel very under prepared tbh and don't feel confident at all to take my exam. i just want to wing it and move on with my life because of how low i feel
Kristina Muharremaj that's exactly how i'm feeling ugh it sucks. i've had a horrible year and don't feel like i tried as hard as i could've for my ap classes.
ramen noodle right. I just want to get the exam done and move on with my life yk?
Yeah. Same here, but I sure hope you're studying instead of winging it. đ
Kristina Muharremaj same here. Iâm studying but I feel like no matter how hard I study Iâm not gonna do well :( I just want this to be over
same
The website is gonna crash because everyone has to submit within five minutes, the college board website works like crap normally thereâs no way it wonât malfunction
Lmao I lowkey won't be that disappointed if that happens.
How is every kid in America supposed to upload their submissions for one class in a 5 minute window?
@@StephJ0seph It's gonna be global for some tests too
Millions of people uploading a test at the exact same moment? Yeah weâre totally screwed. This is not a fair exam
Chrome.exe at 75% ram usage: *FINALLY A WORTHY OPPONENT OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY.*
For those that don't know, test takers in Asia have to take the test at 2 am in the morning. We put together a petition with more than 7000 signatures and sent them an email but they didn't give us any response. The question we asked were quite reasonable in my opinion. We simply wanted to know if we would get any sort of additional support given our VERY obvious disadvantage and why Asia had to take the blunt of this unfortunate situation.
Thatâs rough, I hope they can figure something out bc there is a clear disadvantage. Good luck on your exams and I hope they figure something out soon
@@MilesWare Thanks! We actually received an email from CB this morning. While there will be no change in the testing times, they did offer a range of different ways to support us through this difficult time, including a full refund, free CLEP retests, and an additional info session.
What did they said can you please send their reply.. I am Asian and was worried about that
T. Wang thatâs ridiculous
I wish they could fix this, but if they altered your time to a reasonable time that would change someone else in a different country to a time like yours. Someone has to get the blunt end of the stick, and since most people who take ap tests are in america ig they get majority.
Iâm just really sad that my entire score depends on a single question. AP Lang for you đ
Andrea Duarte I believe in u sis đ đ
I'm already garbage at English.
And now my grade hinges on one essay.
Ik I feel you... I have to take APUSH and Lang
As an AP Lit student I feel ur pain. WHY couldn't the question be poetry ;-;
honestly. and i suck at rhetorical analysis
As a senior, I just wish they cancelled it. Many colleges, such as Harvard, have said they're not accepting AP credit anymore. I just don't want to stress about this.
Joe Burreaux wow I didnât know schools were doing that but it makes sense, them forcing testing isnât helping anyone especially students rn
Joe Burreaux are you like totally sure?
harvard not taking credit has nothing to do with the 2020 changes and so far no other elite school has announced they would change theyâre ap policy due to said changes
You can get refunds if you want
@@aryapapal5286 most schools don't even accept ap credit anyways, at least in the west coast (UC CalState), unless you get a 5 sometimes 4
Of course the one year I decide to be all scholarly and take a bunch of AP classes everything goes crazy
Camille R *cries in junior year*
further down, you said you were taking 3 APs. Just wait until junior year when you have to take 6 :((
@@_carrbgamingjr only try hards take 6 lol
Taking 5, worst decision of my academic career
@@kirilpougatch5451 im taking 3 next year and already kinda regretting it
The fact that most of the exams have been reduced to the hardest sections is going to ruin a lot of peopleâs scores. AP Spanish is strictly spoken this year which is by far the hardest portion of the test. These exams are simply not a good reflection of the level of student knowledge if theyâre strictly focused on niche questions with the cushion portions of the tests gone altogether.
Plus, all the Mexican/other Hispanic kids can now even more easily hack through their exams because they speak the language.
Yeah honestly writing is not my strong point so when I heard they were only going to do 2 FRQs for the AP human test I freaked the hell out. This whole thing has honestly been so stressful but I probably shouldâve gotten a refund.
Edit: typo
im stressing over ap spanish too đđ
@Giorno Giovanna
You don't need to be a good writer for AP exams (Unless you're doing lang or lit)
You just need to know the rubric. And cheese the ever loving hell out of it.
I think this is true for all language exams. Iâm in AP Japanese and speaking is not my forte. Worse off most questions will only be spoken in Japanese meaning if I donât/misunderstand a question thatâs a large portion of missed points
the test is confirmed to be open note.
huh how do you know? college board said this? no judgement just have not heard this lol
Wafa Bhayani yes, they did (:
I have done open book tests a lot before, don't be fooled thinking that it's easy as long as you have your notes.
Make sure your notes are organized really well.
Don't study the notes during the exam rather use the notes as last resort to actually help you out.
A lot of people I know in university make the mistake of assuming that it's easy to just look at the notes and what they don't realize is that they waste their time going through the notes rather than actually answering the questions and they end up getting a poor grade if not failing.
Just giving you guys a heads up if you have not done open book tests before!
H. Ar. thank you for the tips!
Hm! Not bad I suppose.
I think they should just postpone it. To many difficulties
Bill Russell for real itâs sounds like a mess
Bill Russell but seniors wonât be able to take it if they postpone the test and wonât get college credit...
The board cannot just postpone it
There are seniors who need these exam grades as college credits or even college requirements
@@elliehsu436 It's not even college credit anymore.

Another major issue with webcam proctoring (and webcams just in general) are privacy issues. Spying/hacking has been much more prevalent through webcams and your personal information could be compromised.
Good point I didnât even think of that, people are getting hacked rn on zoom too
Exactly
The government is watching us and this is another wau
if you donât think theyâre looking at you right now you are in for a treat
Hasnain FLY why would they want to watch us. OH YEA THEY DONT đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
If they really cared that we perform well... they should've made it longer than 45 minutes. It's horrible to know that there are some extremely intelligent kids who are slow as hell. I AM SLOW AS HELL. I need more than 20 minutes to comprehend the question and just look over the documents! This test is just going to praise kids who cheat or can create a DBQ response faster than another kid.
xiiIris Iâm slow af too but thereâs no time to cheat, even if you wanted to.
It was badddd the time went by too fast i feel like i failed! Only 25 minutes write an essay! And 10 to write 3 part short answer
I feel that
@@rounos0384 okay so i took AP government and politics today and it was a 30 minute essay with 5 minutes to submit so it was really only 25 RIP and 1 short answer but it was a 3 prt question and had 15 minutes to write but in reality only 10 because of the 5min window, i didn't like it too much anxiety and you dont even have time to look at your notes ugh! Frustrating, anyways how was yours??
@@rounos0384 np i hate college board so much anyways i wish you the best! Good luck! YOU GOT THIS! :))
Nobodyâs gonna cheat. At least for AP US GoPo... the FRQs are so short you have literally no time to cheat. If you donât know it youâre screwed
Batman what us GoPo? Government and politics?
Bro im STRESSED about AP Gov đ
Legendary Lucario Same but with Ap U.S
@@sugasexyleggs8989 Ay yo dont worry APUSH is relatively easy u just gotta grab those points and dip during the DBQ.
Secondary devices are a thing.
My biggest fear is how the servers will handle everyone in the world trying to access the test all at once
Yeah they only give a 5 minute time frame for submitting the test, like what if your internet connection is slow or something
Arjun Chandrasekaran they said that after you press submit it will load for a while to fully submit and they made it so that while your test is still in the process of submitting you can move on to the next question. So as long as you press the button before the 5 minute time frame it will be marked on time even though it might take 5+ minutes to load and process and submit
lol, join the club. I'm an AP teacher, and my students have to take tests at 2am and 4am here in Asia. I'm giving them two whole days off.
More power to you
i live in asia too, we're getting 2 weeks off, thank god
i just canât even wrap my mind around the fact that college board decided it was okay to force a student to take a test that early in the morning...considering studies have been done that prove that, in a CLASSROOM setting, students donât perform well at 8am, that puts them in a difficult spot to do well at freaking 4 am. iâm so sorry. this in and of itself just proves how ignorant CB is. i sincerely wish yâall the best.
Maddie R. Well they have to administer the tests at the same time regardless of time zone so someone is bound to get that treatment but that doesnt change the fact that it is BS
to be fair this years ap test isnt testing what you know, but how well you can google
Itâs open note, difficult questions and short amount of time. If you donât know it before and try to look up answers during the test, youâre going to fail, thereâs simply not enough time. Iâve taken ap exams before and I know that once Iâm finished reading the question, I better start writing out my answers right away because there is not enough time to simply think or search the web for an answer.
why not discuss it with the gang
They are designed so that kids canât finish them this year- regardless of cheating
They said it on their website that there will be more questions that can be answered smh
@@sarahhowes8759 but I don't get it. If you don't finish can you still get a 5 or 4 cause I have seen on their website that it is on purpose lmaoo
Jason Chan than no one will finish. No one whoâs smart would actually try to be in a group call during the exam. Like I said, thereâs no time for thinking, searching, or talking to friends on the test. And thereâs multiple versions.
Itâs open notebook so technically theirs no cheating
Vincent Alfiero 2020 there still is
Jared Morales yup, Iâm taking my ap psych test , and itâs going to be open notes, but the questions are going to be from the book the school provided to us, so basically, we can use the books to our advantage
Nathan Sayas Itâs 45 mins. Iâm taking it too. But thereâs no way youâre going to find the answers that fast.
As long as you donât plagiarize
Batman YEP! đ
I feel like the time is a bigger issue than FRQ only. There is no reason to not make the exam 90 minutes long so they can test more material. Split it up into two 45 minute sessions if they have to
Blah yeah it was so stupid on their part for that, why have more time for one question and not the other.
Honestly I'd rather just get it over with in 45 min rather than having to sit down for 90 min
Typing is way faster than writing. 45 mins is actually longer when you take that factor into account.
I'm worried that I'm not going to have enough time to process what the question is actually asking, and think of a response quick enough. The actual stress of it just makes it worse.
I know that AP chem is designed to be unfinishable with or without cheating
In all honesty the remote proctoring makes no sense. you could just plug in a mic and turn off the input. Disable the webcam, who really uses them- of course theyâre going to expect cheating, so end result, we all might just get our scores invalidated anyways. Ap Bio already took out the 2 easiest units, so theyâre going to be ridiculously harder. By making the exams harder, your encouraging cheating so itâs a lose lose scenario.
Lachlainn OâDonnell facst
Lachlainn OâDonnell true, the only way to prevent cheating is making multiple sets of exams
Big fakts, fakts with a k
âWhile disappointing for our families, it is our understanding that only other alternative would have been to cancel exams in certain time zones, which would have been unacceptable. Having the opportunity to test, even at an inconvenient time, is better than the alternative." is there excuse for international students who have to wake up at 1am to take the exam that gives them no credit đ€Šđœââïž

actual bs I apologize
I swear if they make my test score null cause I answered too quickly they're gonna have more than cheating to catch. (they gonna catch these fists)

What are u taking?
Just turn it in later than you actually finish
@@jaeyounglee5410 same here lmao i wanna submit before everyone else before it crashes
I'm glad that I'm a sophomore and not a junior/senior I would've been beyond pissed if this had happened during my most important academic years in highschool. đ€
I just think itâs stupid that if I get a 5 they are going to flag me for cheating because I have never gotten that high of a score on any of my other tests through out the year even though Iâve studied my ass off
Exactly! I've been cramming this year and if that improvement comes off as suspicious I will raise issues.
JUST GIVE US ALL 5'S OR CANCEL THE TEST, WE DONT NEED MORE STRESS THEN WE DO NOW IN THIS GLOBAL PANDEMIC LIKE GEEZ
Bruh thatâs the dumbest thing Iâve ever heard. U have so much time to study
Can you believe there are some students who still want to take this test? Can you actually believe there are some students who want to EARN their score? So honorable, geez.
Tell me about it
All the A students commented on this in my opinion ain't nobody want to study to begin with lol I feel you this testing stuff ain't for me
@MonarchPlays That's your choice, to go to college. I definitely wouldn't want to get out of college faster, those 5 years were some of the MOST important years of my life. Additionally, it's not appropriate for CollegeBoard to give everyone a 5 and cancel the test administration just so you and others can save money. You can pay student loans, get scholarships or grants like everyone else. There are literally 100s of 1000s available. It does require research, effort, and hard work.
I am just about the timeframe, especially for apush. I need about 55 minutes to complete one, so Iâm worried I wonât finish in 45 minutes . Plus if others cheat Iâm going to do worse in comparison.
You're not really going to be able to cheat for a DBQ. You won't have enough time. Also, any of the lazy people who never tried are unlikely to cheat because it is likely they never cared in the first place. They are also not gonna prosper and pass because DBQs require critical levels of thinking that you cannot simply look up.
Skip the conclusion if you have to.
Focus on content, don't try to make it flow nicely. They don't care for how pretty it looks.
Context
Thesis
Describe the docs
HIPP them.
Explain them.
If you can do that, you've got most of the points. Just do *everything* you can, better to do too much than too little.
_RiRi_ Iâm going to do worse even if I cheat đ
tyler89557 skip the conclusion period. this year it will not be a part of the score so just focus more on the body paragraphs.
You best believe Iâm cheating đđŻ
Lmaooo do what you got to do to get that bag my friend
It is not cheating. It is open note anyway.
@@bethstrug272 it's an open note test?
ì€í íë Stephanie ìĄ°ì yup!
Same. Kinda wish I took another AP class but oh well.
I'm in my junior year with 5 AP tests. The learning is severely stunted, and only some places offer online schooling. So the level of learning is skewed everywhere.
Along with that, there's no way to prevent cheating. A teacher of mine mentioned IP tracking, which not only can be circumvented via a VPN, but also is a huge privacy issue. Not to mention a huge load on College Board servers, which could ultimately screw people over (the exams are at the same time for EVERY SINGLE STUDENT).
So not only are they making questions impossible to research, they're completely disregarding the fact that some are in a better situation than others in terms of learning.
But, in all fairness, it's a difficult situation. As a junior, my most important year, I'm stressing a lot, even with all the time in the world at home.
I have 3 AP as a junior and my friends have 4. Iâm stressed to especially in the middle of the year but now I realized my health is declining because of a stupid exam that people think will help us but no half the colleges donât care and I can succeed in life without so I shouldnât care. I mean AP board sucks especially with the way they are handling isses
I know we have it bad-- but just imagine the kids in different time zones staying up till 12am, 2am, and 4am sessions just for the same AP tests... I feel horrible for them but at the same time Im freaking out myself
@@mailee4291 RIP Japan
Also a junior, I've got 3 AP classes (most AP classes a junior can take, w/o literally being a native spanish speaker or being an absolute nut for art)
My sleep schedule is fucked.
xiiIris Iâm taking my exams at 3 am (Miltary brat in Japan đ). Thanks for caring!
I have a feeling that colleges are gonna be like "AP credits will count unless they were given in 2020"
I just donât see how the college board website is going to perfectly function when thereâs thousands of students taking and submitting the test at the same time. The website WILL crash unless college board makes some adjustments to the website for the heavy traffic on test day
They already had a bunch of problems with their practice exam, which had probably 1/10 of the people that'll be taking the real one
I wouldnât be surprised if answers on AP exams are SOMEHOW leaked around social media to help others pass
that's why they're all at the same time, and all FRQ's.
Grace Ayscue but in Asia they take it first
Santiago Vargas thereâs not enough time
Santiago Vargas No I believe they take it at the same time as us (North America East) so basically they take it at 2AM
RabusPL134 2AM? Damn thatâs unfair

@@lanalafontaine4280 Well it is rather unfair for students. Especially the ones that will have to take it as early as 2 am. Its understandable if they no longer wish to take it.

Iâm not even taking an AP exam and I feel like everyone taking this is getting screwed. This is your future! One question to decide it all. Iâm nervous to see if schools will see how well everyone does this year and use that to turn away students because of the huge gap in scores next year. While I have some time before the exams, I donât want this to affect my chances of getting into college. To everyone taking the exam this year, I wish you the best of luck. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Googling IS allowed, but imo that would just waste the short amount of time you have
I googled real quick on my ap psych test, google definitions they are easier, but if you don't have definitions google the most basic thing you don't understand
There will be students out there who pay for others to take the AP for them :/
Moiiike M u cant
Moiiike M facts
Ugly God you probably can
Jared Morales if they include cameras u canât
Ugly God they donât know wgat u look like
The whole "remote proctoring" thing gives me major 1984 vibes.
I don't even plan on cheating but I'm taping up my camera and disabling my mic. So sorry if college board is offended that I value my privacy and don't want them spying on me in my own bedroom.
If the collegeboard does make it harder and more specific, wonât it encourage people to cheat more?
I mean it depends because their real motive to for people to study even harder but...most people donât fall to that
Since the tests are open note, we will have formula sheets and notes for how to do types of problems(for math and science tests). This means that the questions won't focus on memorization of a formula or of how to solve something, but instead on figuring out what to solve and what to plug in where. Really the only way to cheat is to collaborate with other test-takers or to have someone helping you. Collegeboard probably has a big library of AP problems, so they won't have a problem making it hard to cheat by collaboration in real-time. I'd bet most people won't be able to cheat, won't have time to cheat, or won't even try.
AND NOW THERE WONT BE ANY REMOTE PROCTORS! THEY GAVE UP ON IT! THIS IS SO SCREWED!!! UGGHHHH
it was misinformation. that was never the plan.

I don't even know how all of this stuff works, I wanna opt out cuz I'm so stressed
Evan Young lol same itâs such a stupid class
That class sucked when I took it last year
Hate this so much. Two frq questions are not enough for me to show what i learned by working my tail off this entire year. If i get unlucky and donât know even one part of a question, itâs gonna screw my score over.
if you dont know it google it, and reword it. these ap exams are the easiest in history
rip everyone who bought wood pencils
I wonât cuz Iâm stupid af and donât know how to cheat
You make a good point about the idea of making the AP Exams harder. Although it would be harder to utilize search engines. Thereâs still the idea of participating in chat rooms as well as discussing the questions with peers and others as well. I feel like that wonât change anything time and Iâm not sure how College Board can prevent that.
Wow I didnât even think about chat rooms, there are way too many things for the college board to controlđ
@@MilesWare the tests will be administered at the same time around the world. Having a 45 minute compressed test will not give a student the ability to chat with other people because they simply will waste precious time and they won't have the ability to answer each question if they even tried to chat with other students. I guess that's why the College Board made a 45 minutes test
Our senior and freshman will have to take the AP exams at 8pm and 10pm because we live in Italy...We are US military living overseas. Those who are in Japan will have it worse as some exams are 2am.
What happens if we put duck tape to block out the camera ? Ian trying to cheat but like ion want sum one watching me
Breezy Cheesy that shidd has been taped off for me ever since I got my computer. you best be doing the same
Ik they're considering remote proctoring but I think its gonna fall through or be optional, not everyone has access to it
I hope it falls through they donât even sound confident, I guess thatâs why they said considering lol
Iâm upset that students who have actually tried all year are now being completely set aside. Iâve tried my hardest all year in my AP class to prepare for this exam and now it seems like everyone can pass it, even those who probably shouldnât have been in AP to begin with.
Well whats wrong with everyone succeeding stop being so selfish
Itâs not being selfish. Many people who are in AP classes havenât put any effort in them all year and now, they are getting a loophole to pass the class and get a college credit. Real success does not come from imitation.
Nayomi AY Bc not everyone can get a 5, itâs like the smallest percent of the top scores
Nayomi AY Cause then it invalidates all the hard work that students had put into studying their AP subjects and the sacrifices they made. Itâs not selfishness, itâs feeling cheated
Nayomi AY thatâs an ignorant perspective. Junior and senior year many students, like myself, essentially threw away their social life and devoted every day, night, and weekend to school so that they could get 5âs on the AP test and good SAT scores. But now all of a sudden, it doesnât matter as much because someone who put in 1/10th of the effort could receive the exact same score, thereby weakening the devoted studentâs score and jeopardizing their opportunity for a 5.

becca 22 thanks homie:)
cxiu thanks a lot bro:)
Best of luck... I donât even want to do one đ
I mean what really urks me about how the exam is formatted rn is that for exams with 2 questions, it's split between that 45 minute time frame. And you can't decide which question you want to focus on, unlike with regular AP exams where you have some freedom in the FRQs to skip around a bit and do what you're confident in.
A big thing I was thinking of is how do they even know the student is taking the exam? A parent or older sibling who is better at the subject could easily just take the exam for you.
Sky Division Bruh why are u spazzing out about this. I was in no way being a cry baby, just stating a point.
@@skydivision6423 Here's the thing though. The exams are on a curve. That means that if enough people cheat, your score could be affected as well.
@@CosmosAblaze AP exams are not scored on a curve though
@@zendian6044 blog.prepscholar.com/how-are-ap-exams-scored
CosmosAblaze Actually from the official College Board website, they said that the curve is set before any student begins their exam. So other students getting a better score shouldnât affect yours.
im taking the hardest AP class ever.....AP studio art. itâs objective, so you can work for 100+ hours and still get a 3 bc the reviewer may not like your style. also I CANT even cheat! bc it was online to begin with. and I canât even send in physical works and my art is textural. đȘ but GOOD LUCK to every!
Wow thatâs sounds like an interesting and demanding class, wishing you the best of luck on your exams!
You mean subjective? Objective means that a 5 always means you did better than a 3. It is a fact, whereas subjective is up to the reviewers digression.
Dmitri Moua bro my school doesnât have a proper heated room for our art class forget AP I wish I had AP
Lmao how can drawing be that hard ive got Chem on Thursday so pls chill
Wags
Actually art can be incredibly hard. You may have to use certain Materials that could cost a pretty penny. Good quality paper at a reasonable size could cost you at least 20 dollars for 30 pages (more $ if itâs painting paper) digital art is also expensive. My iPad Air 2 cost 200 or 300 dollars (I got it when they came out or rather my dad did as a present) and I bought so far 3 styluses my Black web which was 20 dollars, my Wacom bamboo fineline 3rd gen which was 50 or 60 dollars and now my Wacom Sketch 1st gen which I bought my self that was 70 dollars. And the program I use (app) is 10 dollars. Iâm lucky enough I donât have to spend deadass 635.88 dollars a year for all the adobe products (photoshop,indesign, and all that I think itâs like 20+ apps) and Thatâs why I went with apple because it was pretty cheap. Finding a decent pencil I use pentel and Bic mechanical pencils I love them they are pretty cheap but I run out of led fast so I buy a lot of them I go though like 3 packs a month. And paint brushes can go for 10 a brush (depends on what kind you are getting Iâve found some for like 5 dollars) that arenât in those packs for kids (I do use those tho find the right ones they are pretty good) and canvases are crazy aswell, I use the cheap ones but them nice ones for like expensive are really nice good texture in the canvas and not as cheaply made. Donât even get me started on decent paint lol I love thicker paint and they can cost 5 dollars a tube. Then the amount of time you spend of your work. Iâve worked for 5 hours straight and still only get half way done because the amount of detail. Then you have the teachers who will out right reject your work because you have âtoo much bright colorsâ or âyou need to valueâ âwhere is your perspective?â Or maybe they will tell you to start over. Idk if your chem teacher ever told you to not turn something in or redo it because it doesnât meet the standards after you worked 5 or 10 hours on but it can get pretty expensive.
And people will give you a bad grade because they donât like it also which is annoying.
Do you guys remember what happened when The Jeffree and Shane palette was launched? The entire world was signing into Jeffree's website to buy it all at once and the site completely crashed because the internet literally can't support that many people at once. What do you think is going to happen when hundreds of thousands of students around the world are pressing the submit button in the same 5 minute window?
Anastasia itâs a stupid idea, collegeboard set us up for failure.
Personally since my school has been cancelled I've had a LOT more time to study which will definitely improve my scores so that's also a factor to consider
Glad to hear that!
Instead of giving us more time to study on our own, our teachers have given us tons of work every week that wonât help us with the exam. And thatâs without mentioning the fact that two of them didnât teach AT ALL all year long. My friends and I have been freaking out and trying our hardest to do study sessions together but whatâs the point if we wonât be able to teach ourselves what we should have been learning all year. Whatâs the point when collegeboard is basically setting us all up for failure.
Great job on letting your voice be heard. # Paving the way for yourself and others.đđŸ
They also just announced that webcams will not be required for taking the AP Exams. That's great, but why then would proctoring even matter if there's no regulation to tell whether materials are used for cheating or not?
I'm honestly confused and scared. It's my first time taking this thing and I'm already failing ap human geo đ
I haven't studied AT ALL
same, havent had time to study with the huge workload. Most of my friends are failing multiple classes and im starting to slip, hopefully a small study session will be enough to pass so I can quit worrying and fix my grades ;-;
lol weâre fucked
thats on you, good luck in 13 hours
how did you do
I'm glad to say... I did all that worrying for nothing. I passed đż
Bill Russell says they should just postpone the test while JJ and Ellie Hsu say seniors need the credit. Letâs just combine these two. We should post pone the test for everybody except seniors. I think this is the best option moving forward.
You have 45 minutes... good luck cheating with that amount of time.
ì€í íë Stephanie ìĄ°ì I type really fast and wasted not 1 minute and couldnât get the time. itâs game over
Even with open notes watch me still fail lol
Also we should all come back here and share our scores after they grade it
Trevor Packer the leader of AP planning said specifically there would be no proctor...Princeton review, just like their AP practice books, is usually misinformed
Rachel Bryant no at first they said they were going to but then they realized that there are too many problems so they said nvm and they wonât have online proctors
Where did you see that Packer said there was no proctor?
Kylie Schwartz I am an AP teacher, and he clearly stated it in our AP webinar
i hate how this exam only focuses on a dbq i was depending on stimulus questions and saqs to balance my score
They just want more money. A level exam has even been canceled, why CB didn't do such a thing...I'm too nervous--only two questions, even a single mistake could make lower the score.
this is so spot on, thank you
Sophia Wang Thanks! This whole entire situation is kinda crazy
I'm genuinely scared because, as someone who'll be taking the AP Spanish test, I need to do one of the most unnerving things; recording myself giving a speech in full-blown spanish, no stuttering. If they're not bullshitting to butter us up, I'm going to be one of the first middle-school beta testers to see if middle school students to come are ready to take the test ((which we're obviously not because it's a fuck-ton of stress to put on our shoulders)) where they're going to give us ONLY 45 MINUTES to complete 2 whole speaking sections. I genuinely wish they'd just given us the 3 hours, because as one expects from a middle schooler, I fucking hate my voice. I'm gonna need to re-record that shit forever, draining up all of the test time and fucking everything up. Please, just give us our vacation
It is a 2 min. speech and an interview that lasts about 3 minutes total. You do not get to re-record. It will actually be less than 45 minutes because that's all you need. And, no, middle school students should not be taking this. That's ridiculous.
@@bethstrug272 i took AP spanish in middle school, and it's not ridiculous tf
you can't re record yourself on the normal test.... you have 2 mins to respond and turn in whatever was recorded.
@@bethstrug272 We were told we could re-record...please tell me you know this for sure
Ugh I thought they would make the test slightly easier knowing our circumstances đ€Šââïžđđ

Omg, that sucks, imma take mine at 8pm so thats not so bad but dang
Cubing!
Hey Miles, very informative video. Thanks! I do have one technical comment though, it's not a big deal necessarily but if you just lower the background volume just a touch it would improve the video (at a technical level)
H. Ar. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the constructive feed back!
the fact that we still have to take theses exams is literally stupid. college board knows that the students won't be doing as good as they would if they were taking it at school. i feel so unprepared for this exam, and i'm sure thousands of other students do, too. it, honestly, blows my mind that college board is so hungry for money that they are still making students take the exam under pressure and under the wrong circumstances. a lot of colleges aren't even accepting the class as college credit anymore, due to the fact that it got cut short.
this years ap exam isn't testing what you know or learned, its testing your ability to google
you were right about the second option of cheating prevention. ap questions are def harder this year, and they are not fact-recall based, and instead thereâs a lot of connection students gotta do on their own that google wonât help u with.
What even constitutes as cheating? Looking up the answer and writing what you see? Asking someone for the answer on the question? Nah that doesn't help anyone. In the real world, when you have a REAL job if you tried to do everything by yourself without asking anyone for help you better hope you are right 110% of the time bc you will get fired so fast. Every boss i've worked for ever has wanted me to ASK or LOOK up what i need to solve the problems. The idea of cheating is flawed all because for some reason higher scores = higher merit. People need to realize that just bc you know how to answer a open ended question on a paper or answer some multiple choice questions (because you memorized it or guessed it) that it doesn't mean you are capable in the real world. Universities are garbage at preparing people with things they actually need.
Top comment is literally "up vote if college board is ruining teenagers across america" and i couldn't agree anymore.
Knew this guy was legit when he said âtake the Lâ
Who else feels bad about cheating and just takes notes or study anyway?
I get that you can cheat on these exams, but maybe you'll probably won't have enough time once you finally find/write a good enough answer.
Trust me, I tried. I đ
Very informative! Please do a follow up video discerning what is concidered ânotesâ and what is considered âcheatingâ ie can I use my prep book for notes?
Alle Esor thatâs a good idea and Iâm not sure actually good question
either way they canât record us we minors lol
Weird how CZcams sent me a notification of this video when Iâm not subscribed or seen this channel before
We all know College Board just didn't want to refund the exam fees.
Yeah, thatâs there biggest source of money, not the ACTs not the SATs but the AP tests
Helpful, succinct video!
Great video! One thing I do want to bring up though, Iâm taking AP calc this year, and according to my teacher, the test is going to be a 45 minute FRQ (free response question) which has a much more conceptual focus than a calculations one, meaning that itâs really hard to cheat on an FRQ. You canât really look up questions on google that will give you an answer for something so vague and conceptual... however, as for my biology and english AP test... yeah I have no idea how theyâre gonna stop cheating there. đŹ
corona: HAHA im ruining the world.
College board: Ok team listen, we are not gonna be responsible for any of the money they paid us.
Team: ok boss got it, remote proctors.
Me : chilling with dual monitors :D
If it werenât for those 18k ppl that voted for the exam to still be on đ why canât they just postpone it Iâm screwed fml
I don't know how this managed to be in my Recommended Videos, but I just want to say that I AGREE with all your plausible points. A standardized, nationwide test such as that ought to be postponed instead of adamantly administering the tests in the MIDST of a pandemic.
I don't live in the US, but we recently had an online test for this specific subject in university, and all of us got passing marks (even the ones whom we personally knew weren't going to make it, judging from their academic standing). Our professor congratulated all of us, but the majority of us really knew deep inside that most of us cheated the test. A minority of our schoolmates admitted to cheating, but the majority didn't and won't probably plan to admitting it.
Why did I watch this video if I'm in AP Human, and no colleges give a crap about AP Human. I'm stressing over something so little lol
how did you do on the exam bro
@@nbacurly Got a 3
This question is for everyone and especially college board: "How is it fair for someone who doesn't cheat compared to someone who does cheat and does just as good or better? Because let us be honest people who want to cheat/ are lazy will do anything to cheat and get a good score. On the other hand the kid(s) who don't cheat will actually be earning their score. If you want me to clarify and expand on my question then let me give you a short example. "Where is the justice between a kid who studied to get a 4 and the kid who cheated and got the 4 ?"
AP Readers who score essays will have a plethora of software at their disposal to verify cheating.

Scripts for source analysis and thesis will probably be the most common thing
I feel like I'm now taking a second online course on HOW to take the AP tests rather than actually showing my knowledge of the material.
Thank god this is only junior year APs for me. Next year I am taking way more and would have been so overwhelmed and confused
This is also my junior year and I'm only taking one AP exam this year. Next year will be two exams.
Just watch as people transfer over to Minecraft Servers to talk
How about the fact that the AP Chem exam was made so that students couldn't even finish it??
Iâm taking the AP Spanish test and Iâm stressed bc our teacher had taught us practically nothing this year so I am not prepared and at this point it feels too late. Iâm still doing the AP Spanish online lessons etc. but I just donât think itâs going to be enough.
