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.
