AP Exams

[Alex Pelan]

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.

same APs to take, less optimistic on my scores.
already took stats (okay) calc (ouch) and english (whatever).

i remember taking last year's us history and it stunk and i got a 2. who hoo.

i had to take the APWH.....seeing as its been 48 hours, im gonna post the questions from the essays soon......

Oh and did i mention, we started an hour and a half late?!?!?!?!

[spears312]

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!!

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

I took,
Comp Sci A, fairly certain I got a 4-5,
French Language, 4-5 again
World History...err...hopefully 3-4

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.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Ahhhh APs:

Calculus AB - Very confident, 4-5
English Literature - Pretty confident, 4-5 again, I started feeling rushed on essays but made it OK. The Multiple Choice part went very well.
English Language - Same with English Lit except leaning more towards a 5

All I have left is Chemistry, which I'm still totally mixed about. I feel pretty confident about a lot of aspects, but in others I still feel kinda unsure, which is where studying comes in. I'll be taking the test on March 17 rather than 10th, as I will be at an academic competition all week next week.

[Sgraff_SRHS06]

Ditto.

AP French Language - I don't know. I did well on the FR section and parts of the MC, but I did not know how well I did on the listening part of the exam - 3/4
AP Calc BC - 4/5
AP English Literature (aka AP Lit) - 3/4 - Kicked butt on the MC, but bombed at least 1 of my FR's

Still to take -

AP Biology - Monday (should get a 4/5)
AP US Government & Politics - Tuesday (should get a 5)

AP Physics C M & AP Physics C E/M - Friday May, 19--(alternate exam because of conflict with AP Biology), should get a 4/5 on both


I'm with a lot of the BC people on the difficulty of the exam this year. I'll be making the hasty generalization that the Calc AB exam was easy for everyone here (who took it last year), but our scores are sort of inflated because 25% of the testakers received a 1 on the exam. So, that means that I don't know what the College Board is going 2 do this time.

[JamesBrown]

Calc AB was really easy, should be a 5 (didn't have to skip anything, and I was able to check all of my answers)

English Lit- I thought this was reall easy, the essays were very simmilar to essays I have written in the past

AP chem is all I have left, not 100 percent confident but I think a 3 is possible

I really wanted to take Calc BC but my guidence counsellor wouldn't let me even though I know I was ready (I had scored 4 or higher on every practice test I took)

[Pavan Dave]

yay? I get to write all essays next year when i take AP English Lit. Lol.. and the thing is I think i made a 1 (on scale of 0-4 ) on the TAKS a state test..which means i auto fail even if i make 100% on MC,..and i believe teachers get scores this week (or already have them) and so I find out if I have to take some remedial classes to learn how to write the engish essay, and i cant bear stupidity, the only plague of society. But thats my punishment for dozing off...

[Jaine Perotti]

I only took one this year, and only took one last year.

Last year I took US History, and I got a 4 - which is excellent because it will count for credit at my school.

This year, the only test I took was AP German Language - I think I did great on the multiple choice and writing sections, but totally blew the oral sections... I can't speak German fluently while under a 2 min time limit and am feeling stressed out...not my strength. Oh well. I'm probably looking at a 3 or a 4, and a 3 will get me credit (I get progressively more credits as my scores get higher).

Even though I am taking AP Calc, AP Statistics, and AP English, I decided not to take any of those tests. I didn't want to take Calc AB because I would have needed to get a 5 (I might have been able to pull a 4) to get credit and I didn't think it was worth the stress. Plus, when I take it next year, it should be a breeze.

Stats... just totally and completely sucks. I know how to do each of the processes, but I have no idea why and when to use them (I don't have a great class... AP Stats class is more like AP Slacking class).

AP English I have been struggling with all year. Even though I love to write and read, I truly abhor analyzing literature. Pardon the pun, but I find that I just can't read into stories the way other people do. I am more of a scientific thinker and I just can't find myself inferring things about character's intentions and feelings and the meanings of those feelings and the metaphors and... ahhhhhhhh... I hate it. I would have had to get a 5 to get any credit at UM. Wasted $82, if you ask me.

So, I will only go into college having taken 2 AP tests which will have given me credit, but oh well. I may also be able to transfer some of the credits I have earned through my school's Tech Prep program, which allows me to earn credits for the classes I take at school through Northwestern Connecticut Community College. However, at this point, I don't know which credits they will accept, and which ones they won't.

Wow you're pretty lucky, down here we're required to take every AP test that we have a class for. Then again, in my school we aren't charged.
