So I’m taking AP Environmental Science next year. I want a perfect score on my ap exam. Am I crazy?? I’ve already started studying. I know there has only been 1 perfect score in APES, and that was in 2014. HELP
And I really want to receive that glorious letter saying I got a perfect score. Also, it would help me get accepted into SUNY ESF (my dream college)
Am I wasting my time studying? Would it be easier to get a perfect score on psych?
anybody?
YES!!!
…so I am crazy? ;D
Not crazy, given that it’ll encourage you to learn the material completely. Just keep in mind that the College Board can always put some obscure multiple choice question on the exam that you haven’t prepared for. Use the 100% as a goal to learn more about the field than your peers, but don’t be disappointed if you don’t reach that goal.
Yes.
This will not make or break a college application.
@“Keasbey Nights”
that’s exactly what I was thinking. One question could mess it all up 
Also, would it be easier to get a perfect score on AP Psychology? I know there have been LOTS of psychology perfect scores
Yes. A five is a five, perfect or not. I’d recommend spending your time studying for your SAT instead. Good for you for trying though. Colleges will love that go-getter attitude.
I would not call 3/260K from LY to be “lots.” It’s not worth the effort. If it were to happen, great, but the reality is the only one who would really give a hoot is the student who got the perfect score.
“It’s not worth the effort.”
Yes it is. Even if I don’t get the perfect score, I will still have learned SO MUCH and it will aid in the major I wish to pursue. (Envi.Sci)
Sure, you’ll learn a lot, but then you also should not hope it changes anything about your college app
Literally no one but you will care. Study for a 5, not for a perfect score. Better yet, study because you want to learn the material. Aiming for a perfect score makes you seem petty and obsessed.
Thanks for all the kind comments -_-
Thank you keasbey and Hilary for the kinder comments. 
You asked for opinions using provocative language, yet you’re somehow upset when people answer??
No. I value your feedback. But some people didn’t need to add the comments about being petty and obsessed
I agree with what has been said. If you REALLY wanted to get ahead in your EVS degree, go online and learn advanced material that is found in upper level EVS courses. The APES exam is common sense applied to ecological principles, and you studying that material extensively is a goal, but not a very optimal or applicable one. At most the credit will count for two introductory EVS courses, and a perfect score in anything by no means validates your ability or intellect. I’m sure edx or coursera has some stuff that you would really like.
Even if you tried to get a perfect score, if you’re really concerned with learning the subject matter then there are much more efficient ways of studying then trying to remember every detail that might be on the AP test. If you want to shoot for it, great, but expect disappointment. Even if you’re only a couple of point off you have know way of knowing how close you were.
