By the way, I made a 78 on the End of Course exam. This test is so bad, that I made a 98 in the AP US History class and a 5 (top score) on the AP US History Exam and was barely able to pass it. So come on South Carolina, either redo the test or get rid of it.

Okay, this is incredibly ridiculous. I am an AP US History student at a SC high school. I recently took the SC US History test and noticed several flaws in it. For one, it requires the student to analyze and interpret history. CP students are never required to do this. Also, the test is wrong. Most of the time, there are no right answers to the test questions, or all of the answers are in some way or another right. I can't believe SC would even think or requiring students to pass this.
