So, it's that time of year again: the time when we find out our scores from the CollegeBoard Advanced Placement exams!

This past May, I took the Physics C (Mechanics and E&M) and Economics (Micro and Macro) exams.

To my heart-stopping amazement, I got fives on all of them (http://blog.phpwnage.com/~klange/ap_scores.png). And I didn't even answer most of the free response questions on the Physics C...


So, how did the rest of you American high school kiddies do on your tests?
(If you take IB or other related tests, feel free to post, too)

I'm still waiting for my comp sci AB scores. I'm almost 100% sure that I got a perfect score on the free response half, but I fucked the multiple choice up quite a bit. A 4 will make me happy enough. Fucking recursion.

For some reason, free response seems to be wayyy easier. The music theory test was easy as balls on both parts (knew I had a 5 before I left the room), but I probably finished the free-response section in 10-15 minutes at most.

Edit- Heh, got enough information in that png?

Is there a way to find your score from about 3 years ago? I don't remember ever getting my last comp sci result...

I had AP World History, covering topics from about 5,000 B.C. to the Gulf War.
Test was fucking hard, one of the essay questions was unclear about what it was asking, so I kinda BS'ed my way through it.
I got a 3, so I still got College credit at UCLA, where I plan to go.

I got gypped out of my Calculus AP exam due to shitty IB exam scheduling, and I missed the IB diploma by 2 fucking points...all because the math one was about nothing we learned during the school year...fucking Geneva.

This, only replace AP with IB and change the part about multiple choice to something about them sending the tests off to Uganda, which probably knows fuck all about European History. Got a 4 on this exam, but I scored perfectly on all the practise tests and was even given hints by someone who actually scores IB History exams. Fuck VA and its double/triple curriculums. :mad:

Well, I'm taking AP U.S. History next year which should be dramatically easier since I live in America and I know more than half of the presidents by heart.

IB results:
7 in math HL (done in 2008), physics HL, French SL
6 in chem HL
5 in English SL and History SL (whoa)
Combine that with TOK, I got 39 points in all.

My school hosts AP exams too (not courses). This year I did:
AP Physics C - got a 5
AP English Lit - got a 3 >.< No credit for me argh
AP World History - got a 4

in 10th grade I did Calc AB and in 11th grade I did Calc BC and Stats - 5's on all of them.

Don't know how you got a 7 in Math HL...those problems were the biggest mindfucks ever. Completely obscure solutions that don't really require any math so much as abstract thinking...which is not what we were taught.

5 in English Lang, 5 in Comparative Politics, 4 in CS AB

I was surprised to get a 4, I thought I did better than I did on the CS A exam last year (which I got a 5 on).




...Maybe drawing a picture of batman in the answer book where it said "do not begin writing your answer here" was a mistake.

Oh well, seeing as how I live in fucking Arkansas I probably had the highest grade in the school.

Uh.. It was about slavery no? I don't remember the exact context. Mind refreshing my memory? I remember I threw in a lot of outside info because the documents were shit.
