OK, I'm sure SOME of us here have taken an AP Test at some point during their high school years. Which ones did you take, and what did you get on them?
I just got back my US History results back, and I got a 4. That's much higher than I was expecting. I thought I got a 3, at best, but hey, that's one class that I won't have to take, and one step closer to being an AP Scholar.
I took some. I passed the English / History related ones, but not the Math / Science ones. :)
If your major pertains to one of the AP tests you're taking, most likely you'll have to take the class anyway in uni, especially engineering majors.
I got a 5 on both Calculus AB and BC tests. I got a 4 on the Chemistry, US History, Biology, Government and Economics tests. I got a 2 on both English tests, which really pissed me off.
You just got yours back *is jealous*! I haven't gotten mine from this year yet.
Last year, I took AP US History, got a 5, so I hope I'm done with history forever, this year I took US Government, Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science A, so we'll see how those go.
Not a single one out of all my 5's helped. Okay, well Calc BC and Stats did help a bit.
The cool thing was I got to take them discounted senior year because I was poor.
Wtf are you talking about?
I didn't have the opportunity to take any AP classes until this upcoming year, my junior year in high school. I'll be taking Computer Science II AP, American History AP, and EnglishIIIAP.
I got a 4 on the English Literature and Composition test...
You guys had to take a test to be in a AP class? that sucks.
No, we took the AP Class, and then at the end, took a test to see if we get college credit for it.
I got 4's on both European and U.S. History but I haven't got my results for this year's tests yet (Psychology, and Government). I actually signed up for the Physics, Lit, and Econ tests but my counselor from USC told me that they don't really give a damn about the AP tests you take senior year. So I took the money from those 3 tests and bought an LCD monitor :)
Ohhhh ok. That makes much more sense.
Back in junior year, i took the AP History exam despite having only taken the standard history course. It was common knowledge that our class had covered far more material, and i wasn't the only one there who tried his hand at the test. But what we hadn't gotten was direct AP preparation, so most of us scored lowly twos.
Senior year, i scored a three on Calculus and fours on Biology and English Composition. Calculus and i were spiteful nemeses, and it was a day of much celebration when i found i'd not have to take my core Mathematics requirements.
They didn't let us do nice things liek AP classes and such :( we had to be really good math students and then they would maybe let you take a dartmouth class. Damn them
Math - 5
Physics - 3
Writing - 3
Government - 4
And a 4 on AP US Government and a 3 on AP US History. I think.Quote:

:D
I havent gotten mine back this year... My school only offers 5 AP classes, (and I only took 4 of them) :choc: :choc:
Your number of posts in this thread could have very easilly equaled two.Quote:

It means "Advanced Placement." It's pretty much a high-school class that covers college material, and in May you take a test of your knowledge over the subject that are generally extremely difficult. The scores range from 1-5, with a 3 being the grade that most colleges accept as knowing the material. It allows you to earn college credit in high school.
I just heard from College Board...
Psychology - 5
Gov. & Politics - 3
I didn't even take the AP Psychology class and self-studied off of Princton Review a few days before the test, and I DID take the AP Government class and studied for weeks before the test. How odd.
I guess I should be happy, but the 3 is making me a bit sad. meh.
All you people getting their scores in before me...I took the AP Biology test as Freshman. I want my scores...I have a bet riding on this...
Just got my scores back. I got 5 on Computer Science A, US Government, Biology, and Chemistry. I'm really suprised about Computer Science A and Government, I just took those tests for the hell of it, never thought I would do well.
AP American Literature 11th Grade
I passed with a 3 but it was very very hard.
Kudos to all those who passed other ones, I saw the study guides, holy hell.
well, i took these a few years ago:
Calculus BC - 5
US History - 4
Microeconomics - 5
US Government - 5
English Lit/Comp - 5
Physics C Mech - 5
Physics C E/M - 5
The best part was my University gave me huge amounts of credits for these scores. I even got a year of Physics with lab. It ended up covering my enter core curriculum, which was nice.
