The state of Illinois is currently considering a bill to mandate that all public institutions accept a score of 3 on every Advanced Placement exam. [Bill here](http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=3428&GAID=13&DocTypeID=HB&SessionID=88&GA=99). The lobbyists in favor of the bill claim that similar things have been enacted in Ohio and Florida.

I'm interested to hear stories of how math educators have been affected by state-mandated placement policies. I don't need specifically USA answers here, although I am personally most interested in the College Board's Advanced Placement exams.

I am not interested in having a debate over whether the bill is a good idea; I don't think this site is a good forum for political disagreement. But I do think it would be possible to share experiences here.
