This week really has been the worst for standardized tests.

In order of taking them:
English Language - it was alright...I'm not one for reading comprehension so probably 3/4 there
Spanish: 3/4 - mostly good but definitely a few things I could have done better
Calculus BC - 5 I think
History - :( I have no idea, I probably did terribly on the MC and helped bring it back up a bit with the essays

And I love the planning that College Board has...tomorrow is SATs! Luckily I don't have more APs next week - I know some people who do and I feel bad for them ( :p )

The exact opposite here. I thought my MC was pretty good but my essays were random and I would be suprised if I got a 3 on any of them

Oh yeah, 1 hr 55 min to answer a DBQ and 2 short-response essays on the AP US History... that wasn't exciting, so I took a nap after finishing the first short-response and the DBQ.

I know I haven't got a 4 or a 5, likely a 3 though.

I have two this year, wonderfully scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday. AP biology is monday, and I'm fairly certain I"m going to get a 5, as I'm in the 4 range already without essays on practice tests. AP US Government is another story, I'm somewhere between a 3 and a 4 at the moment, hopefully I can bring that up over the weekend.

Finished my last AP of three this year (AP Eng, AP Java A (I'm not the programming type either), and AP US History). Some questions were easy, others were like running a drill through my hand. I'm never really one to predict how I did on tests, but I feel confident about java and eng, but the US history was... US history.

I must say I thought my head exploded after the history one too. I did enjoy my 15 minute cat nap at the end of the second part. Too bad coming home from Atl burnt me out that I didn't get as much studying as I wanted to. I'm just glad that its over!!...Now bring on Graduation!!

Re: AP Exams
 
I thought the Calculus BC exam was difficult - I wouldn't be suprised if I only get a 2 or maybe a 3. Hopefully the AB subscore will be decent, but I'm not really sure how that is weighed in.

I feel I did a good job with the Computer Science AB exam and I am hoping I at least will have a 4 on that one, although there was a decent amount of material on it that I had completely overlooked and did not study at all.

The biggest issue with AP exams for me was the fact that my school does not offer Calculus BC nor Computer Science AB courses (they have Calculus AB which I am taking this year and Computer Science A which I took last year), so I had to do a lot of studying on my own.

I was planning on taking Physics B but I decided not to. Again.. another one of the AP exams which my school does not have a course offering for.

Calculus AB wasn't very bad (I'm certain I got at least a 4), but was annoying preparing for it since I haven't had the class since December (we work in block schedules, classes only last 1 semester).

I take Physics C: Mechanics on Monday. We just finished simple harmonic motion (I believe the last thing we needed to learn for the test) today, so I'll be busy with all the practice tests this weekend.

Re: AP Exams
 
I've got AP Chemistry coming up. I feel pretty good about it (except for electrochem, I seem to have developed a block there, I don't know why) and am expecting from all the practice we've done either a 4 or a 5. APES is the week after (I think) and should be okay... apparently it has one of the lowest if not the lowest pass rate of any AP exam... we'll see.

Lol i took apwh... I hated it. Alslo we started late too.. I think it was our fault the contry was late?? The bus showed up late, the busdriver took us to wrong building ..walked for 1/2-1 mile and finally sat down to take the test.. i believe we started at 2 something lol....anywyas our proctor said that they called AP and said it was ok to take the test..

I underestimated an "AP" test and I would be lucky to make a 2. I took way too mcuh time on the MC so i had like 11 questions unawnsered in the end and a frined told me the last 10 were like a breeze... :(

Anyways . No College Credit for me :(

Re: AP Exams
 
APUSH was horrible. I think I got a 75%ish on the Multiple choice so that was good. However my essays were each shorter than 1 page and I didn't really understand what the DBQ asked. I just basically liste facts and stuff about the topic.

I have AP Physics B. I think I will get a 3. To say the least, our teacher wasn't the greatest.

AP Environmental Science should be pretty easy considering that on the practice tests without the essays, I have gotten like low to mid 90%.
Good luck to everyone.
