idk if this is a thread yet but here goes...


Anyway, as AP test season is fast approaching, I thought I'd see what everyone's taking this year.

AP geo, AP lit and comp and AP chem.

I couldve taken ap econ or enviro but naah, waste of money for me. econ sucked a ton.

Calc AB this week then US Gov next week. I feel okay about the Gov one but I'm probably screwed on Calc. I missed most of the review stuff so I'm not really prepared at all.

AP Calc Wednesday and AP Lang Friday. Calc will be no problem but I do not have the ability to write all the essays in the time given whatsoever so that test might be tough

I am going to find the idiot who decided that you need to write essays for a math test and slowly cook him alive.

Took APES and finished after 60 minutes for both sections. It was pretty easy. Considering it's on a curve and a lot of people are saying it's easy, it might be one of the years where you need an 80% plus to get a 4.

That said a girl in my class broke down in tears after she ran out of time on the FRQ's.

You only need a 70% on the MC and a 3/10 average on the FRQ's for a 5

I thought that was the average over the years? They still scale it I think. So if most kids get a 70% or whatever you would need a 90 to get a 5. I don't know how it works but my APES teacher today said the test seemed easier then it normally was.

Yeah it's scaled. Doesn't really matter how hard the test is. What matters is doing better that the other people taking it.

lol those last two questions were shitty as hell, but the ochem was mostly irrelevant. It was more IMF and kinetics, but the ochem threw me for a loop. Still didn't get any correct...

Took AP Calc AB this morning. What did anyone else think? Had to guess on a slew of the mc's in the first section, and ran out of time on the third but other than that it seemed like a pretty fair test

^ also took Calc AB, I was severely unprepared to take that test. Expecting a 1 or 2 if I'm lucky. I was planning on retaking it in college anyway, just won't send my score.

I have Latin IV tomorrow expecting a 1. We spent most of the year on Vergil and were unable to finish Caesar so I didn't bother learning what we couldn't get to. I am terrible at grammar and vocabulary, only thing I can get points on is going to be the essays because they're in English.

Priests who are also your principal make terrible teachers..

ScaredwhiteboyI'm still just a freshman so I'm only taking one, AP US History. Next year, though, I'm in AP Chemistry, AP Spanish Language, AP US Gov and AP World History.


How're you taking AP Spanish as a Sophomore? Our school only let's us do AP Languages after we do levels 1, 2, 3, and 4. So basically you have to be a Senior to take them

But anyway next year I'm taking AP Statistics, AP Environmental, and AP Micro/Macro Economics,

Same. Beginning suckkkeedd, I guessed on 3/4 of the noncalc MC, and on the calc MC I finished in 25 minutes and only had one I wasn't sure on. I'm terrible at FRQ's but I think it went better than my practice ones. I think I left 2 sections blank total on the FRQ..

and the guy who took the BC, I heard it was hard too... Like, really hard. Some of my smartest friends taking it as a junior thought so.

Scams? Each test can save you tons of money if you score well and the credits transfer

You're thinking of the SAT. AP tests are dirt cheap considering the amount of money they save you.

Did the opposite of my game plan on Latin today. Killed the multiple choice, but got to the FRQ and was quickly overwhelmed. All the questions were on the topics I never got to self teach myself.

Same here brother, Apush will be okay as long as you skim the barons book, since it gives you a basic understanding. Physics on monday will be straight death.

Yep! Sort of hard to explain. They give you code, you have to explain what it does/what the output is. And then for the FRQ you have to write the code to do what they want it to do
