3 on Human Geo?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>So I self-studied Human Geography during the 2010 examination period and called to get my score. They said I got a 3???? I got low 5's on all of my practice tests and I was sure I aced the FRQs. I even compared answers and everything checked out. So right now I'm saying ***? Did I maybe mishear the recording?</p>

<p>Right now I'm hoping for a glitch in the system or something. Did anyone else get a 3 on Human Geo? I feel like a ritard :'( especially since a ton of questions on the test were about my home country.</p>

<p>By the way, I got 5's on all of my other AP exams:</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
US History - 5</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
US Govt - 5
Human Geo - 3 (!@#$%^&*)</p>

<p>I doubt the system had a glitch. You can call for a rescore if you want - incase you feel they forgot to tabulate in the MC or something - but it’s unlikely it’ll change. It’s a self study so don’t even bother reporting it if you don’t want to - it won’t hurt you at all.</p>

<p>And relax. A 3’s not the end of the world.</p>

<p>You can always retake it next year. After studying so hard this year, I bet all you’ll need to do is review and it’ll be easy.</p>

<p>Your making me scared Skate…I took the class and studied pretty confident but your scaring me.</p>

<p>^I generally don’t suggest the idea of retaking AP exams unless they’re being paid for by the school.</p>

<p>An0maly is right though; a 3 is not the end of the world.</p>

<p>Assuming you manage to get credit for them in college, and since they look impressive on an application, I think good scores are worth the money, even if it involves a retake, especially since college classes are usually a lot more expensive than $85. But I’m from a family that believes that education is worth more than money (and we have enough money to be able to afford that belief), so that’s just my opinion.</p>

7

<p>Yeah, I get that. My family is the same way, but I was still raised very conservatively. However, Human Geography is probably a less credited AP at colleges.</p>

8

<p>Money is not an issue. I intend on getting National Scholar, but things will get hectic with 6 APs. I know a lot more people do many more APs on here, but I like to enjoy life…</p>

<p>@sd6: You’d be surprised. MIT gave me credit for a 5 in human geography, but not for chem, bio, statistics, or comp sci ab (also 5s). It really depends on the school.</p>

<p>I got a 3 on Human Geo last year. I was proud of myself, lol. It was my first AP I have ever taken. It isn’t the end of the world, lighten up…</p>

11

<p>I took it last year and got a 3. Suck it up.</p>

12

<p>I got a 3 on the APHUG exam my freshmen year. It was the first AP class I took. I didn’t really study for the exam as much as I should have, but I had a really great teacher.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I somehow got a 3 on this… it was the lowest of my 8 self-studied AP’s, yet the one I was most confident on. I guess the curve sucked? IDK I’m right there with you though so I doubt it was a mistake</p>

14

<p>I’m scared now… I thought I got a 5, as well.</p>

15

<p>Is anyone else going to retake it?</p>

16

<p>@Lidusha, haha that is very surprising.</p>

<p>My case was the opposite; I thought I got a 3, but I got a 5. So don’t worry Saugus.</p>
