I just opened my mail... and I am very happy about it, even though I won't be getting credit for calculus now.



I got a 3.


AT LEAST I DIDN'T GET A 1!!!! yahoo.gif

Wait, you don't get credit if you get a 3?

Congrats, by the way! :]

4 is the minimum for me to 'skip' the 100-level math courses in university.

And thanks! At least I'll have background knowledge for the calculus class I'll be taking...

Always a plus. :]

Oh damn. BUT if it's for some random class that I'm not planning to take in college (like japanese) then does it really matter if I get a 3?

Oh no, I don't think it should matter then.


... but where I live, we have to take provincial exams to get into the universities in BC. If we don't do well in our provincials, they accept our AP marks in replacement... so it'd be a MAJOR plus if I did well. Oh well.

Provincial exams?.........oh, you live in Canada. haha I didn't get what BC meant for a minute there.

Does it go the other way too? Like, if you did well in provincials, then would they ignore your AP scores and let you not have to take the class?

No, because the provincial exams can be for ANY course. It's just for admission. AP exams are used for both admission and credits for specific classes.

Ahh, that sucks. :(

I don't think we usually have exams for admissions. I might like that better than doing all the SATs and stuff, though. Do you guys have to do that too?

Nope, no SATs!! =D

From what I've heard, it's pretty freaking hard. My friend took it twice because he applied for universities in the states, and he had a lot of trouble with the vocabulary section. Apparently they just give you words out of context, and you have to figure out what it means? Harsh!

I'm not sure I remember any of those kinds of questions, but there might've been some like "A synonym of ______ is a) b) c) d) e)" But most of the time they're not like that; they usually give you a sentence or passage instead and say "the underlined word has the same/opposite meaning as a) b) c) d) e)"

I think. (._.) Or my memory might be going prematurely. I like to forget about unpleasant things.

But back on topic :D

APs actually made the end of my junior year easier, 'cause we didn't actually do anything in those classes after AP classes. XD

I know, right! After the AP calculus exam, everyone just talked or played games in class. I'm pretty sure everyone would've skipped if it wasn't for my (awesome) teacher threatening to teach another lesson if 3+ people were absent.

My teacher taught new stuff anyway. <_< It wasn't really hard, though, and actually kind of fun. :D

I guess my decision to self-study calc bc 2 months before the exam was a bad idea.
I got 3's on all exams.

calc ab, bc, and us history.

well, im fine with my 3 in apush.. it was my worst subject..

I think that BC combines both the AB course and a higher level, so BC has two marks...?

They give you a grade based on the AB portion of your BC exam.

At first I was a little angry at myself, but I feel a little better.
A 3's good enough to place me into multivariable.
