AP Scores

[Ian W.]

well, ap scores are in, now how did everyone do?

i got two fours, out of two tests taken. bio and world hist. now, if i didn't 'waste' all that time in florida, or school, or various other places working on the robot, i might have gotten a 5. of course, robots are a heck of a lot more fun . besides, i'm happy with a 4, because i hated bio, and world history was a brand new test, and no one knew what to expect. so, how did everyone else do?

I got a 5 of psychology! yeah! and I didn't even study for it...

But I got 2 on Euro Historry and I studied for it...odd...oh well... I don't really care....

I just took one AP..Environmental Science..got a 4..happy but was really hoping for a 5..oh well..just glad i'm done with that stupid class..next year taking ap english lit, chem, and calc

[GotGuts610]

Physics B - 5
World History - 5

So as you can see, I am very happy with the AP system .

PS. Sorry to hear programming's not for you. I just hope the ap system wasn't the factor, cause in my view ap computer science is a bunch of bs. I'll try to keep this short, but basically ap dumbs things down, doesn't teach advanced features or idioms, and doesn't do a good job explaining why you do things. Of course, if you have a really good teacher I suppose he could salvage the class, but that's a rarety in a public school system.

PPS. Hope I don't sound too cynical, I just have some opinions against ap comp. sci Oh, and I believe there's a teacher around here that teaches it. No offense to you, I just don't like the ap treatment for computer science.

PPPS. My sytem of 'PS'es is entirely too long ... sorry 'bout that

as always, just my 2 cents

[Jeff Waegelin]

AP?? Whats AP. Never heard of it. What is it?

[Eugene]

I got a 5 in chem. It seems like they have really lowered their standards, so it is not such a big accomplishment.

[rbayer]

CompSci AB - 5
EngLanguage/Comp - 5
Euro History - 5
Calc BC - 5

Well, i got meself a 5 in Physics... Which is odd because I got a 90 on the regents (state wide exam for New Yorkers). Now you tell me, is it possible that someone who aced the advanced physics should get a 90 on the test they give to inner city folk with poor education and no real desire to pass? Not to dis the inner city folk, its just that we have LOTS more money flowing through our district.

Dude, I got a 4 on it.. trust me, they definitely lowered their standards if I got anything higher than a two.

Speaking of lowering standards... not once while learning, studying, preparing, or taking did I look at the Marine Biology case study. I skipped, out of hand, questions 16-20 on Part I, and for the Part II Case Study free-response I wrote definitions for 500 variables instead actually giving a real answer.

And I still got a 5. Go figure.
