AP Exams - Predict Your Scores

**gprime** · May 12th '06

For those who took AP exams (or those who have any comming up, as there are still late ones next week), tell us what you took, and what you expect to get. Then, if you feel comfortable, tell us how you did in July when you get your actual results.

My predictions:
AP European History - 3
AP US History - 4
AP Government - 4
AP English (Lit and Comp (Or maybe it was Lang and Comp, forgotten which one)) - 5

For those outside the US: AP exams are "Advanced Placement" exams you take after completing the coursework in a college level course offered for supposedly bright students. However, few AP classes actually teach to the test, even though they are supposed to. And many who take the class do not belong. It functions to prove your intellectual worth during college applications, and can give you some credit if you go to a crappy enough school. Exams are scaled out of 5. For most, 3 or above is a pass. For all English exams, 4 or above is a pass.

The only AP test I ever took was one for English. I made it, but then I ended up moving to Colorado where they didn't do the AP stuff...Sucked.

Dissapointed:

AP US History - 3 (Which, as it got closer to the test I started to expect)
AP Gov - 3 (Came way out of left field. I thought for sure I'd have at least a 4).
AP Euro - 3 (Very pleased, since I had no actual class, and I was the only person in any of the surrounding districts (so, in about the dozen or two closest schools) to take said exam. Do with no prep whatsoever. When I took it I was afraid of getting a 1.)
AP English - 5 (As expected)

Well done.

Anybody know if they'll be doing any next year?

I'll have:
AP Biology
AP Statistics
AP English 12
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics

Thankfully, college classes don't have AP exams, so I don't have to do anything for Western Civ II. Useless course, but there wasn't anything else to take really.
