Claire Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 [FONT="Arial"]I'm assuming, since mine came in the mail yesterday, that pretty much everyone knows the results of their AP tests. In 10th grade I got a 3 on AP World History, which came as a great shock because of the lack of studying and the complete BS I made up for two out of the threes essays. Needless to say that set my expectations for this year a little higher. I got a 5 on the practice AP Language exam, so I was very confident about the real thing. And it helped greatly that my teacher was amazing beyond words (the same goes for AP World!), and by the end of the year everyone in her class was pretty far ahead of the students in the other AP lang. class. I mean, we watercolor painted the day before the exam. I almost cried tears of joy. Anyway, I got a 4 on the real thing, which is still pretty cool. Unfortunately I didn't pass US History - I only got a 2. I was expecting to get at least a 3 based on my success with World, and that America's history is much easier to remember than that of the entire world's. I didn't study for it at all but still felt confident on the multiple choice and I didn't quite screw up my essays as badly. Oh well.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neptune Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 [FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][COLOR="SeaGreen"]Oh AP anything, we just don't get along do we? In 10th grade I got straight A's in AP US History, studied my *** off all year, started slacking around test time, leaving me with a 2 on the AP test. I tell you, I was sooo close to a 3, though it didn't matter. My college only accepts 4 or 5's for college credit. Than senior year: AP Calculus. I [B]hate[/B] math. What comes so easily to some people takes weeks to churn and make sense in my head, math wise anyways. I can ace English and History, no problem. So I get my results yesterday for the AP Calculus test, not expecting much, and, like I thought, I got .. a 1. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it, I tell you what. And it's not like I'm not disappointed, I mean, I tried as hard as I possibly could! Math and I just don't click anymore. : ([/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiha Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 [COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Well I only took AP English and AP History and pretty much everything panned out for the future the way it's been since then. I only took them six years ago anyway... But seriously. I'm majoring in English, and since my exam score was a 5 and my class score was a 5, that's pretty much set in stone. My minor is Political Science and since I passed that with a 3, we might as well all celebrate and get it over with now. I found the AP classes useful and illuminating. And a great G.P.A. padder.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I was anxious to do the same, but their scores were less than what we all were expecting so I decided to wait. Of course, once I knew they had also received their scores in the mail I began to obsessively check the mail everyday. I thought they didn't come yesterday, but I somehow overlooked it (I have no clue HOW) and my mom gave it to me this morning. Blehhh. No one I know passed AP US, though.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 [size=1]I'm like Lunox; in Georgia, still waiting. I took AP US History my 10th grade year and made a 1. Then again, I slept through the class. I'm pretty confident about my AP Language scores; I rocked that class. We did practice essays, and I got on 8 on one of them. We've read old essays and their scores, and them scored them ourselves, so I know my teacher is a harsh rater. :p Lets hope.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Haha! When I took AP Bio, I only got a 1... :animesmil At first I thought it was a waste of time, but I got out of class and didn't have to pay. But it didn't help that my teacher sucked. (Or rather, that in two years, we cycled through 4 teachers) So, darn. But oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Faye Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 [color=#9933ff]AP scores, lulz. I remember fretting at the time, only to look back and realize it didn't mean a lot. XD I got a 3 on my AP Calc (AB), and AP Physics. I got a 4 on my US History (That teacher was AWESOME, the way she reviewed and taugh material - I didn't even have to study and I got a 4), and a 4 on my English Lang. (Didn't take the lit - I don't know why I didn't, *shrug*)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikillion Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 [COLOR=#6d527f][SIZE="1"][FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Ugh. For me my AP scores were pretty much hit and miss, although I could care less for the miss. I managed to get a 5 on AP Computer Science which was pretty surprising seeing as I didn't study for it nor read the book more than once. Well that and the fact that whoever wrote that test needed to learn how to speak and write English, [I]badly[/I]. And then I got a 2 on my AP US history test because well...its history. I had the best teacher ever for the subject, and I think that he was the only reason I didn't score a 1 or even possibly a 0.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 [font=trebuchet ms] Ehh...disappointed with my scores. But I guess never studying for the AP exams came and bit me in the butt, because I work a lot for the grade but I burn out by the end of the year. Time for me to recall my entire high school history. lol Sophomore year) AP World History, oh god. Our teacher was really sort of just insufferable, but in the end I studied enough for a 5. I was supremely surprised by my score, though. Junior year) aka the year of Stress, I took AP Physics B and AP Calculus AB and got a 3 on both. I was just happy I didn't get a 2 on physics, but I was surprised by my calculus score, I thought I had gotten a 4 or 5. On AP Lang and AP US I got 5s. Senior year) Confusing year, I got a 4 on AP Comp Gov, which I am confused about mostly because I thought I did *perfectly* on that exam, especially the written portion. But I got a 5 on AP US Gov. A 4 on AP European History, which is just hilarious because my AP Euro class was a directed-study, aka we literally did not read more than 3 full chapters. I guess with combined knowledge from AP Gov and AP US we managed to BS our way through everyhting, rofl. 5 on AP Lit, 3 on AP Stats, which saddens me because now I won't get any math/science credit at college. -_-[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooperson Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 [SIZE="1"][COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]Last year, I took the AP Lit exam & happily received a 4. That was pretty fantastic! However, it's not like I'm getting any college credit for it anyway. -__- I just got mine in today from this spring. Oh buddy... Microeconomics - 1. Macroeconomics - 1. Music Theory - 2. Government - 2. Mmhmm. Yeah. You can tell I prepared oh-so well this year. :P[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
