Comments
Good amendment. No point of doubling the tests for AP students.
I disagree. The tests are not the same. An advanced placement test does not necessarily include the same content as the SOL test. It is always dangerous to substitute tests for one another without first finding out if they were designed to do the same thing. These two tests were not so designed.
