about two months ago, i had an epiphany ( i know i spelled that wrong but w/e) about my education.
....MY SCHOOL ONLY OFFERS AP IN GRADE 12!!!!!!! how AWFUL** is that?!? and the only things they have it in is Studio arts, and..english lit. Chem, Phys, and Bio, for the past few years have not opened class due to the lack of enrollment. Hence i decided to transferr to a different highschool next year. Going for Richmond High because they offer IB ( International Baccalaureate), which is probably the best thing i can do if i want to go to University in the U.S. ( i live in Canada). im feeling so depressed and scared..and just generally bummed out from all the research i've done on college admissions... |

Well, AP tests are used to place out of some college classes, depending on what you get for them; ie you get college credit for taking the test and scoring well (usually 4 or 5).
I'm actually not sure how they recalculate the averages, but they each have their own scale based on your school and how it does the grades, I think. |
