AP Tests starting tomorrow...

[Screech]

Calc AB tomorrow should be a bit of a breather; I took the IB math HL test yesterday and today, and there was some pretty hard stuff on that....

The only tests I really care about are calc AB and English lit to get general eds out of the way., but I'm taking micro/macro econ as well. More credit, I suppose. I expect a 5 on all except either a 4 or 5 in english.

and don't fall asleep during the test. I got a 1 on Calc AB because of that.

Considering my teacher didn't teach very well, Government wasn't that bad.

But Calculus BC tomorrow is going to be killer. As long as my AB subscore is 5, I should be happy though ...

very very true

i was lucky in that UCLA didn't let me skip some classes based on AP testing. the courses at the college level were more difficult and helped prepare me for the upper division classes i'm taking right now.

back in the day, i got a 2 on Calc AB 🙁

the following year, i got a 4 on Calc BC 🙂

The passing of BC counted towards a passing for AB so got double credit :laugh:

Very true. If you have the gonads, try taking real college courses at a local college.

Not always true. The AP classes at my school kick serious ass, and the pass rate rises accordingly. A lot of times they'll give us AP exams without the scale and just record the grades as such.

Then there was AP CS where I slept.

ah, those were the days. You should come to college and try our tests.

damn, the Calc AB took me by surprise. The multiple choice was really simple, but the part II questions was a different story..

i have Euro on friday. Havent even started studying..lol

then there's chem, which should be cake. The teacher designed our class by making every test insanely difficult. By doing this, taking the AP will feel like taking a regents.
