haha i took the stats test last year...and failed miserably because i already knew i wasn't going to pass so i didn't study one bit.
don't worry too much about us history! i passed and i didn't study that much, i'm not that smart or anythhing either, i'm not that like stereotypical asian girl who sits in class and sleeps all day & gets A on her tests or anything. honestly, i have average grades, but in high placed classes. oh english, i passed that too!! it's like not too bad, just use your time wisely! i passed that & history with a 3. so it's not like i'm a genius. but if i can do, i'm sure you can too! |

Taking both AP English exams was a huge waste of money. I passed both the tests (as well as IB), and it still only got me out of the first of the two freshman English classes.
I took almost the same exams as the OP last year, but AP psych instead of bio...and I had the foresight not to bother with the AP calc exam, because I knew I'd fail. Really should have studied for some of those tests.. |

AP Calculus AB...Wednesday morning! That will be exciting. Not. I'm sort of screwed. I don't even care, though, I don't foresee myself even using the credit.

I'm taking AP U.S. History, and AP Calculus BC.
I'm sure I can pull a 5 for AB, but I'm guessing 2-3 for BC. I self-taught it, with some help from tutors. I'm very, very worried. This BC score could refine my resume even more when it comes to college admissions.

...if only I watched this last night.
Multiple choice for the Calculus AB test was okay. But the free response? I don't like oil slicks. :( |

aw you guys, APUSH is honestly not that bad. took it last year. you'll honestly do fine!
and AP CALC AB TODAY was like..........wow. i have the princeton review book for it and if i studied harder, i would've OWNED THAT SHIZZ UP...but i got lazy and was like whatevs, imma get a 2 anyway. yeah oil slicks..........wow. i left that entire problem blank. didn't really have time. i spent so much time on the one before it. ugh. whatevs. doesn't even matter to me, i tested into Math 180 (Calculus 1) at the local community college so it doesn't really matter to me whether or not i pass the AP exam. credit, no credit, whatevs. |

 I so bombed the BC exam. My mind went blank for all the divergent and convergent problems. I was okay with Taylor Polynomials, but the slope field problem was ridiculous and the Euler problem following that! I spent too much time thinking about how to integrate an irrational function (I think that is what they're called), but I figured I had to use (uv) - (dndcsnajnc) du. UGH! I never learned Legrange in my 2 weeks of learning BC material. Eck! I'm expecting a 2-3 on BC, and AT LEAST a 4 on AB.

hmm..that's interesting. i thought that if you receive a score of a 2 on your BC exam, you automatically get credit for AB. this guy's mom accidentally signed him up for BC so he had to take it when he's in AB. haha hopefully he got at least a 2 on the BC exam!

Do you know what else was on the exam? I'm doing AP Chinese through self-study, could you tell me.. around what topics I should study about. I pretty sure the reading, multiple choice, and writing is easy, but I'm just scared of the verbal. :/ QUOTE(TiffanyFactorial @ May 7 2008, 09:54 PM) hmm..that's interesting. i thought that if you receive a score of a 2 on your BC exam, you automatically get credit for AB. this guy's mom accidentally signed him up for BC so he had to take it when he's in AB. haha hopefully he got at least a 2 on the BC exam! People who take the BC exam get both an AB score and a BC score, but BC, for me is more important for my college resume. |
