Well, a number of students really struggled with the FRQ. I have not graded them all yet. We definitely need to get in more practice. Fifty percent of your AP exam relies on your ability to answer most elements of the FRQ. If you do not develop proficiency, you will not pass the exam, plain and simple.
I spoke with Ernesto Garcia today. He is responsible for the AP program at Alisal. He mentioned that the test actually costs $50 and not $85. Also, there is a good possibility that funding will exist to pay at a minimum, a portion of the tests cost. We can also explore potential fundraising opportunities, if necessary. In speaking with my wife, her company provides a charitable matching program. If, for example students could come up with $25 dollars a piece, the company will cover the rest. In other words, there are many options, so don't worry about it. Just keep working to do your best.
Remember, tomorrow Mr. Cisneros will be subbing. I expect that you will cooperate with him and go over the assigned reading as well as present in class. This section is very important. I noticed that categorical and block grants have been covered on pretty much every past APGOPO test in the last 7 years. See you on Thursday.
