AP Testing

[Kirobaito]

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.

[-N-]

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...

[escobert]

You guys had to take a test to be in a AP class? that sucks.

[Kirobaito]

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

[escobert]

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.

[escobert]

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
