AP tests start next week, and it would be awesome to know what people are taking. And we can post scores in here in July when they come out.

For me it is only:
Environmental Science
Calc AB
Literature and Comp.
Statistics

I'm sure there are people on here taking a bunch, post up!

I'm with ya on the Language and Comp praying.
APUSH should be easy, I've been taking past-released exams and the questions are actually pretty simple if you have a gist of things.

English. I think it was because my class never practiced writing the essays with the same time constraints and I fell behind a little. My essays all ended up being short.

The multiple choice part wasn't bad though.

AP stats was easier than I was expecting. I think I probably managed a 4 which is great considering how little I studied.

Yeah, lang wasn't that bad. I feel good about the 1st and 3rd prompts and decent about the middle. Multiple choice was exactly what you would expect.

Its pretty awesome, but it teaches you Java. It would be so much more useful if it taught you PHP.

What. I drew pictures in the entire free response because I had zero idea what was going on. My teacher did not do a very good job preparing us.

After taking all four of mine, my predictions are:
Environmental-4
Calc-4
Lit-2 (passed last year, wrote about Harry Potter)
Stat-5 (easiest AP exam I've ever taken, free response took like a half hour max)

My next is APUSH on Tuesday, but I broke my fingers yesterday playing lacrosse. The index and middle fingers on my right hand to be specfic, the problem is that I write with my right hand. I can't possibly write three essays with the cast.

Anybody had experience with being unable to take an AP?

I got APUSH on wednesday. I realized I don't actually give a fuck about it and all I care about are the APs i'm taking next year. Here's the thing - my US history class wasn't even specifically AP (we don't have an actual APUSH at my school) it was honors. so, we didn't even have an AP class to begin with, and all prep was to be done outside of class, which I didn't really do. Whatever, lol. If i'm minoring in history in college I don't want to skip a history class anyway...

Probably did shitty on multiple choice but thought FRQ was a breeze, finished with a solid 45 minutes of extra time. Assuming I got a 4 as well

Jeez, your schools offer so many AP classes. Mine barely has any. Anyway, taking APUSH on Wednesday. I've done decent on practice multiple choice and DBQs/FRQs. It's the teachers first year teaching it though so I'm a litttttle scared he didn't prepare us to the fullest.

Shitting myself for AP bio tomorrow, no amount of studying has been able to ease the amount of fucked I am. Had no class time to review anything, finished last chapter thursday, and still am not completely sure what the new format will look like. Should be fun.

Yea AP Bio is scary for everyone, even the really smart kids, because of the new format. Dont worry though because they curve the test based on how the nation did, so if everyone does bad, you can still pass no problem.

So I'm taking my first AP tomorrow, Physics B, and I was wondering if we have to be there for the full 3 hours? 3 fucking hours for test I'm not going to pass is fucking ridiculous. Hoping to get a 2 so I dont look like a complete clown.

You are there for almost four. They take a long time giving instructions and stuff. Just be glad you don't have two tests in the same day. Last Friday sucked...

Fuck that. Worst decision of senior year was to take this dumb AP class so it'd look good for colleges. Instead of studying I'm spending my time making up missed WebAssigns lol

It's basically the level of the the classes. There is AB Calc which goes over less material and then there is BC Calc which is just goes over more stuff at a higher level.
