From back then, I got:

5: CompSci A, CompSci AB, Calc AB, Calc BC, Phys C Mech, Eng Lit, EnviSci, 3d Design, Stats
4: Phys B, Phys C E&M, Eng Lang, MacroEco, US Govt, Psych, US Hist, World Hist, 2d Design

Since TI sponsored our school, I got $100 per math/sci/comp/eng test passed. They also pay from most of those tests! That totals $1100. Woot. (I took 17 or 19 AP classes, most were required)

WTF?! We had to pay $80 PER EXAM. And I took 12 exams (counting Physics C as one, so that's $960 down for me).

Well, here are my scores:

5: Physics C Mech, Physics C E&M, English Lit, Calculus AB, Calculus BC
4: Spanish Lang, Statistics, US History, European History, Biology, CompSci AB
3: Physics B, English Lang

Only took Stats, Physics C, and Spanish this year (senior year).

Regarding this:

Calculus BC and AB are in essence one test because you take the Calc BC test with an AB subscore. Same thing with Comp Sci AB and Comp Sci A

I took only CompSci AB and didn't get a subscore, so it doesn't work that way with CompSci.

You are correct on the CompSci part (I fed up). I was thinking more of the lines with most colleges, a 4 or better on the AB is inline with a 5 on the A, so in essence you get a 5 on both (doesn't really matter because a 5 on the AB gives you all the credit you would've gotten if you had only taken the A test)

Mine were on my college transcript when I checked it online (Univ. of Maryland: College Park)
