I took AP Calc and AP Gov and got a 5 and a 3, respectively. Got credit for both in college. I'd have gotten higher in gov, but our entire semester consisted of our teacher telling personal stories, and not teaching.

AP English Language and Compesition (Monday) - Did well, the essay was an analysis of an article from The Onion , which rocked

AP US History (Tommorow) - Shouldnt be hard, scored 60+ on all my practice tests so far

AP Environmental Science (Next Monday) - I think I'm going to fail this test, as I've learned nothing in it so far

Scored a 3 on my AP Euro Hist. last year, because I completely bombed the DBQ.

Euro was horrible, it covers 12 times as many subjects, over a period of time longer by 600 years.

I took AP English and AP US History. I failed both tests. I'm sorry I was coaxed into taking those two courses. "This is what real college classes are like." Bull****. None of my English classes so far in college have been anywhere NEAR as boring and fast paced as my AP English. And History? History is a boring topic in general to me, but I got more out of the History class I took this semester, and again, it wasn't as fast paced.

I hated AP. It seemed utterly pointless.

AP Literature today was pretty fun. Doubt I did better than a 4 or worse than a 3...
2005-05-05, 6:03 PM #12
I took AP Language and Comp and Computer Science AB. CompSci AB was pretty tough on the open ended section. Golly.
2005-05-05, 6:49 PM #13
I am taking AP Lang and Comp (done), Computer Science (done), US History (tomorrow), and Comparative Gov't (next wed.).

I'd be taking stat too, but I dropped it last week.. five tests was just too much to study for.

DBQ's are the best. You usually don't need any prior knowledge of the subject. Just read the material there and then write.

compsci AB. MC was easy, but I got raped by the written. Or, #3 on the written. the one with the successor(TreeNode t) method.

I took the AP World History test on Tuesday. The DBQ saved my skin. It was incredibly easy and didn't require any knowledge at all. My AP Biology test, on the other hand...:o

I'm planning on taking AP History next year (my 11th grade year) and AP English and AP Calculus in my Senior year. I hear that AP History is the hardest AP class in the country and that a 5 on the exam is virtually impossible. It's got me worried. :(

I'm a straight A student mind you, but 30 pages of reading a night for just one subject is quite a bit, especially when I have 7 others at the same time.

I took the Literature and Comp. test. The multiple choice was a breeze, and I only had problems with one of the essays.
2005-05-05, 7:29 PM #20
Tomorrow we'll all have to talk about the actual questions (Lit/comp), once we get the booklets back. I'm going to say I got a 4, maybe a 3. I missed the entire 3rd column of the multi because I was so tired that the first text REALLY through me off.

Didn't anyone else find the second text remotelly ironic?

APUS History isn't that bad.... I think the math tests are far worse. Calc, for example.

Can't really discuss it until Saturday; don't want to discuss it on a public forum especially...

That said... the second essay? Backchannel me:

Well, I'm currently technically speaking within boundaries, as I'm not saying anything that was in the text, only referencing it.

I took Language & Comp and US History as a junior and then Calculus AB and Music Theory my senior year. I scored a 2,3,1, and 4 respectively. Theory was the only class I really participated in.

Let's see I took the Microeconomics test junior year, got a 2 on that so it was 80 bucks down the drain. However last took the English, Euro, and Us History Ap's, got 5,4,3 respectively. Luckily for me they were enough for some credit in college. I just remember that essay for US was on the French and Indian War, which was a *****, because it had been way back at the beginning of the year, and our teacher the whole time was telling us that she was sure the essay was going to be on Vietnam because of the Iraq war. So our focus drifted to that, and we got screwed. Euro wast great because it had been just me and a friend who had complained to allow the class, and in the end we didn't really even have class. Our techer just gave us the essays, and we'd just talk about movies the whole time.

Last year (jr.) I took US History, Calculus AB, and Chemistry, getting 4, 5, and 5 respectively. Let's see the lineup now . . . .

English Language and Composition - This test was basically the SAT verbal plus some writing (okay basically the current SAT). I screwed up the essays because I am slow at timed writing.
Expecting a 3 or 4.

Calculus BC - Pretty easy. 5

Computer Science A - I hate tracing and the MBS, but the free response questions were cake. 4/5

Statistics - Pretty easy. 5

Physics - I don't know about this one. I don't like electric and magnetic fields and all related crap. 4 but maybe a 5.

I will be done on Monday, but good luck to all those who still have to take tests!
2005-05-06, 2:28 PM #29
American History: Easy. 5. (Helped that my genius teacher guessed the essay prompt)

European History: So easy I didn't know anything but got a: 4.

English Language: 4.

English Literature: 5. (Also pretty easy)

Took Calc AB on tuesday -- most likely got a 5.

Taking Physics BC on monday. I expect a 4, or perhaps even a 5 on the mechanics section and a 3 on the Electricity/Magnetism section.
On the practice exam we took, I got around 45 on mechanics, 7 points short of a 5. On E&M I got the minimum possible score for a 4, 35 I think -- I may not get so lucky on the actual exam. (this practice exam was from 1988)
