AP Scores
So, who has gotten their AP scores back? I got mine right before I left for IRI on Thursday. I got a 5 on Chemistry, and a 4 on both of the English tests. I got a 5 on Calc BC, too, but that was last year. So, what did everyone else get?
|
grrr, i never took any AP whatevers when I was a senior/junior in high school; are those hard? i hear about them sometimes but i dont even know exactly what AP things are.
|
The difficulty is highly variable depending on the student, the teacher, the preparation, and the subject.
This year, I got a 5 in Calc BC, a 5 in Biology, and a 4 in French Language. |
WHOOHOO! i got a 5 in APCS =D
::does happy dance:: |
I took the easy way out..... I paid an additional $300 for each AP class, and received credits from a local college, that will transfer to almost all schools. :)
|
calculus-4
bio-5 (and my bio teacher thought that i never listened to him) |
Physics B - 5
CS AB - 5 US - 5 Go me :). |
AP Comp Sci: 5
AP Phys B: 5 AP US: 5 AP Eng (Lang/Comp): 4 Never did like English.... Out of curiosity, how much emphasis do other people's schools place on AP or that equivalent level - IBN or something - classes?I've heard some people's schools offer maybe one or two total. My school offers almost every AP except the foreign language ones, so a lot of people end up taking two, three AP classes a year - next year, I'm taking 4 AP classes and 6 (:ahh: ) tests (some classes like Physics C have two tests - Mechanics and Electromagnetism). Do everyone else's schools have that "You gotta take advanced classes or else you're going to fail at life" atmosphere? |
Ap computer = 4

English Lang and Bio-3
I hated Biology with a passion. Cory |

If you dont pass...dont show your face here again... Especially with our IB tests/diplomas Then again, I feel IB is more important than my Aps anyway... Latin SL - 5 Theatre SL - 4 (retaking as HL though) I think my Latin teacher is going to think I'm crazy... On the Ap I actually studied for and applied myself, I made a 2 (AP Latin Lit Horace/Catulllus)...but the AP that I took a nap during the free responce instead of actually answering any questions...I made a 3 (AP Latin Vergil) Calculus AB - 4 (which amazes me b/c I had to teach myself the course) |

Our school actually sets up their courses so in order to take no AP classes you would basically have to a) drop 'honors' and go 'academic' or b) not come to school senior year. Lets take math for example (advanced honors track) (middle school) 7th-Algebra I (middle school) 8th-Geometry (high school) 9th-Algebra II/Trig (taught together) (high school) 10th-Pre Calc. (high school) 11th-AP Calc. (AB exam) (high school) 12th-AP Calc. II (BC exam) OR AP Stat. (AB exam) Not the class to fall asleep in. By the way, next year (10th for me) I'm taking AP Bio. Those of you that have taken this course, either share your thoughts on it here, or PM me! I've heard it's one of the more difficult courses and seconded only by AP Chem. (If my grammer or spllin is somewat of thats fine becaus i'm not plannin on takin AP English in any form or capacity what-so-ever...But knowing my school I'll end up forced into it anyways:rolleyes: ) Anyways... On the AP Bio tests that I got my hands on (old ones), I scored a high 4 or a low 5. (I really need that 5 or my parents will *kill* me. They both majored in Bio at UD with the blue hens, and my dad has a Phd.) Just my 2.1 cents. |

Bio's reading is not only plentiful, but boring and rather dense at times as well. However, it's fortunate that most of the time, you won't need to know the level of detail the textbook goes into. As long as you understand the broader concepts and are good at reasoning, you should be able to do well based on class lectures and homework alone. Well, that and labs.
At our school, at least, it's the class that students have to worry about, not the test itself. That advanced/honors track for math doesn't look too bad. I don't see why they'd consider AP Statistics to be harder than Calculus, though. Honors/AP has taken a very unfortunate toll on our school. It's a public school without many remedial classes, so the segregation between the students enrolled in "advanced" classes and those who aren't has become a bit vicious. |
