<p>United States History<br>
10.6% 21.5% 21.8% 27.2% 18.9% <----- 45% of the kids got 0 or 1 for 1 of the FRQs lol.</p>

<p>Environmental Science<br>
7.7% 23.3% 16.9% 25.6% 26.5% <---- Really low scores, stop thinking this is easy class you nubs.</p>

<p>European History<br>
10.3% 18.7% 34.9% 11.0% 25.1% <--- honestly, who cares about this class?</p>

<p>Physics C: Mechanics
25.9% 26.0% 21.1% 14.9% 12.1% <---- Huge drop in scores, I believe because too many people think they can self study.</p>

<p>Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
28.6% 25.0% 13.7% 19.9% 12.8% <----- Lower scores, not as much as mechanics though.</p>

2

<p>I care about European History :(</p>

3

<p>Hoping to be one of the 5’s for Lit, Micro, and Psych!</p>

4

<p>English Language
10.3%. 16.1%. 28.7%. 29.8%. 15.1%. <— DAMNIT, I thought I got a 4, now I think i got a 3. Overall, lower scores, :(</p>

5

<p>Hey man, have faith. You’re on CC so you are definitely in the top echelon of academic achievement. I didn’t think I would get a 5 in Lang either, but I did in the end, so believe in yourself man!</p>

6

<p>I care about Euro, lol. And I did the FRQ that Trevor said that the people who did well on the exam generally did. That’s good. I was fairly certain in a 5 before, and now i’m all but certain. </p>

<p>Psychology should probably be a 5 as well. I thought I got a 5 in AP Human Geo, but apparently a lot of people did really poor on the Industrialisation question, which was the one I did… I still think I did all right though, probably still a 5. 4 at worst. </p>

<p>Did Trevor say when world history would be out?</p>

7

<p>How about English Lang, Biology and Calc AB and BC? Any reason you are excluding them? Also, how do you know 2013 distributions? Aren’t the scores coming out in July?</p>

8

<p>If you follow AP Trevor on twitter, he is announcing the scores as they grade them. So the reason I don’t have every AP class yet is because some of them haven’t been graded. The reason I made this thread is because it is all consolidated, and it is annoying to scroll through the twitter feed to find the distributions.</p>

<p>Spanish Literature
10.9%. 28.8%. 37.8%. 17.8%. 4.7%. <— Redesigned course</p>

9

<p>I care about Euro too lol. I also did the essay that “higher ability students” generally did - question 7, the one about right-wing regimes - although I’m pretty sure I screwed it up. I think I got a 3. Some other tweets about Euro, for those who are interested: </p>

<p>“AP Euro History students tended to perform well, on average, across all topics and historical periods in the multiple-choice section.”</p>

<p>“The most frequent score is 5/9 on the AP Euro History doc-based question: 12 docs on religious toleration,1500-1700s:”</p>

10

<p>I’m worried about my DBQ mark actually for Euro. I don’t think I did terrific on it because I grouped them really oddly, and I don’t think it was particularly well written.</p>

11

<p>AP World History scores, 2013. 5: 5.7%. 4: 13.5%. 3: 29.4%. 2: 30.4%. 1: 21%.</p>

<p>didn’t think it would actually get worse than last year</p>

12

<p>Took AP World during the 9.4% 5… But, I guess the current year tests were something to escape~it’s now as low as the chances of a Stanford admission! :)</p>

13

<p>Apparently 60% of the students scored a 0 on one of the three essays, and the mean scores were 2,1,1… Thankfully I scored a 5 last year; moreover, I wouldn’t want to take this test with these new writers :D</p>

14

<p>AP World was brutal this year. I’ll gladly take my 5 from the 2011 exam. Like tangentline said, a Stanford level percentage is pretty stunning.</p>

15

<p>

this is going to happen with calc bc</p>

16

<p>

Yeahhhh I most definitely did not get a 5…or 4. With any luck I’ll get a 3…I know the FRQ’s killed me.</p>

17

<p>which ones, the polar question. I bombed that question, pretty sure I got 1 or 2 points on that one. I didn’t remember how to integrate polars…</p>

<p>Calculus AB
5: 23.8% 4: 18%. 3: 17.4%. 2: 11.2%. 1: 29.6%. <---- They 1/3 of students earned a 0 on Q2, Q4, or Q6. </p>

<p>Calculus BC
5: 45.3%. 4: 16.5%. 3: 18.9%. 2: 5.4%. 1: 13.9% <— Significantly lower 5’s. GOD DAMNIT MATE!</p>

18

<p>thanks Dragooner!</p>

19

<p>I think it is scary that about a third of the kids who took the AB test got 0/9 on Q2, Q4, and/or Q6 (although Q6 should be the easiest question to get points from, in my opinion, although I can see how people could end up with 0/9).</p>

<p>On the other hand, a perfect score on AB and 5 perfects on BC. I hope I’m one of those perfects on the BC test, although it’s not the end of the world if I’m not, haha. I can deal with not having a perfect score, although I’m pretty sure I got a five (otherwise I have some work to do).</p>

20

<p>Ugh… I’m really worried about my WH exam now. I had no problems with the multiple choice, but now that Trevor’s mentioned Q2, I’m thinking that I possibly could’ve messed up on it. I didn’t think it was too difficult at the time, but it was definitely the single most difficult question on the test. I can see why 60% of people scored a 0, but the other two are kind of shocking. I thought that the DBQ was easy, much easier than Euro, and that the second FRQ was really easy as well.</p>
