AP US and Bio

Have a good chance at the US because my teacher was pretty good, but the Bio I'm going to have to work my ass off if I don't want to bomb it.

Unless they are for your major, then you have to retake them anyways in college

It's a breeze for me, but it does vary from teacher to teacher. I just got outlines for every chapter from someone who took the class last year, and that made it way easier.

My teacher wrote a shit ton of tests for that class, and teachers around the country use his tests, so he is a bomb ass teacher. I don't really do any of the homework, but I pay attention in class and take detailed notes. (14 pages after 1 quarter) That works for me.

Getting a little over 50% of the questions right is a 3. The questions are more general and broad than say a textbook chapter test so it is easier in that way

Essay's and DBQ's (Document Based Questions) Are what make people fail in the end really.

Glad I don't have APs to worry about anymore. I didn't think they were particularly hard, just time consuming. Here's how mine went though

AP Bio-4
AP Chem-3
AP English Comp and Lit-4
AP English Comp and Language-3
AP Euro History-3
AP US History-2
AP World History-3

Got 21 credits because of all of them.

And something to remember for anyone taking bio...during the essay section they only count things that you get right in your answer toward your score. Anything you say that's wrong doesn't count against you at all. This is probably how I ended up pulling a 4 outta my ass for this test.

I remember on one of the AP eco tests, there was a question i had no idea on, and got it down to two choices, which i knew one had to be right since they were the opposites of each other (couldnt remember a rule or something) but anyways, wound up drawing a treasure map on where to find the correct answer, it said: "Where will the Pirates attack next?" and it had america and africa with a different answer in each land mass

Then I didn't know another question and wrote about why i didn't know it-got college credit surprisingly

NS is much smarter than i thought.. ha i got AP Calc AB though. Shouldn't be too bad since i got a nazi teacher that has drilled us into form for it all year.  I think last year 55 out of his 70 students got 5's on it

Oh fuck.

AP test are a real gut punch, its May the year is winding down the last thing you want to worry about is a big test. I took AP lit and AP Econ last year, got a 3 in lit and a 1 in Econ. Didn't study for either. This year I am taking IB English (similar to AP) and am hoping to stomp the shit out of it.
The only good thing about AP class is that after the test you never do anything in class anymore. The test is over so there is no new material to learn and it is smooth sailing form there on out.

AP World biatch. I got essays on fucking lock. However, I am worried about the multiple choice, just as many of my classmates are because I read the first 19 pages of the book. What is my grade in that class? A and I haven't done an assignment since September. I am fucked on the multiple choice.
