Their exams don't cover anything they've seen in class. My son passed AP Calculus, but got the bright idea to take it again as an easy A. Imagine his surprise when he failed it. This also happened in Physics. He understood everything in class. But, on the exams, they pulled out stuff they'd never covered. This was their way of weeding people out of Engineering. This is what the head of the Department told me. Some kids I know had to take these tough classes 2 or 3 times, dropping them at the last minute, so they could see what would be on the exams. Maybe it's all about the money. Also, discourage your kid from declaring a major until they are forced to. The study guide for students not in Engineering was what he was used to in his AP Calculus class. After one year, my son's grades were so low, it would take him years to pull them up. His relationship with his Father has plummeted, and may be irreparable. And, my son has lost his confidence. He has dropped out of college. With no idea what he wants to do now.
