AP Physics B grade compared to exam score??

<p>So, our one and only Physics teacher is kinda crazy. She teaches things we don't need to know at all, doesn't know what she's teaching, or just doesn't teach at all. She's known among students and teachers to be the worst teacher at our school.</p>

<p>Her teaching ability shows up in our grades. Most of us are failing her tests. We're a class of nerds who get high A's in every other class and take other AP's, but we somehow still manage to fail her tests.</p>

<p>I would appreciate the difficulty of her tests a little more if they had to do with what's going to be on the AP exam.</p>

<p>Ever since I realized she wasn't teaching what we needed to know, I've been studying from the Princeton Review and learning A LOT more than what's covered. Thankfully, because of this, I've been getting projected 4s and 5s on every review test.</p>

<p>I'm just worried about the low grade I have in the class. How will colleges look at this and determine if they should give out credit? I've heard from my Calculus teacher that someone did terribly in his class and got a 5 on the exam, but was denied credit because of his low grade.</p>

<p>Sorry, I just found this site so I don't know much about the forums, but if anyone has had any experience with this or knows anything, I'd be glad to hear about it.</p>

<p>What are you expecting in terms of credit? Physics B isn’t a terribly useful credit to have, unless perhaps you want it to fill a science distribution requirement as a nonscience major. It’s not rigorous enough for most STEM fields.</p>

<p>AP credit policies are listed on most college’s websites. I know of no instance where a student was denied credit based upon the grade in the class.</p>
