<p>immediately after English Language exam, i felt really happy, because i thought i did very well. and then after an hour, i found out that i approached one of my essays in an entirely wrong direction (the money leads to happiness one)! i SOMEHOW interpreted the excerpt as money is bad! but today i found out i got a 5 anyway!</p>
<p>what's your story?</p>
<p>Umm.. our teacher didn't really prepare us too well for the Bio AP exam, and a lot of kids in my class went into it knowing they would fail since they didn't study much on their own. Consequently, a few of the kids just quit halfway through the test, which may have helped the curve =)</p>
<p>I was walking to my AP exam testing site and saw this furry blue monster! He scared me so much! I stabbed him with my #2 pencil and he ran like a girl! Then I got a bunch of friends with me to kill him so we could eat it the next day in the cafeteria! yay! WHATS YOUR STORY?</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with Bobert. I was SO sure of myself during the AP English Lang exam. I totally misinterpreted that money piece to be a critique of money! I was taking everything way too seriously. But I ended up with a 5.</p>
<p>cheers, jimbob!</p>
<p>during my AP eng lang test, a class joker opened his sealed essay packet prior to the MC testing (against rules, not to mention). he knew about the essay topics about an hour beforehand. he also had a cell phone with him and was text messaging the whole break between MC and essay</p>
<p>well, the great thing about standardized tests is that they're standardized, and it doesn't REALLY matter if someone cheats because the number of people taking it is so large that a few unearned 4's or 5's won't hurt the curve. besides, we got 5's, woo hoo!!!</p>
<p>On the day of my AP Art History exam, there were 3 class periods....4th and 5th period met at one church and 1st period(my period) met at another church. however, 1st period was in the wrong church. I was at the church where 4th and 5th period was asking where do we go cuz nobody believed me when i told them we were at the wrong church. So i go tell 1st priod we really need to leave this church. The administrator finally walked in and said ur AP exam starts in 4 min and you guys are at the wrong church. So everyone got in their cars near crashing each other to get out of the parking lot and then we are all speeding down the street to find the other church which was like 5 miles from the church where we were accidentally at. So we finally get there and we all get settled and the proctor was there eating sandwiches. So then we start the test and like 50 min into the test a girl walks in and asks for her test and the proctor told her to leave and dont come back.....the girl wasn even crying, u think she would have...instead she was like screw it and asked her friend to go pick her up to go to the beach. So yah, thats what screwing ppl ovr is all about. I guess 50 min late was kinda bad, even if we were told the wrong place lol.</p>
<p>Well here's mine. I was taking my AP Biology exam and it was going swell and then all of a sudden this girl's watch alarm goes off. She tried desperately to get it to stop but she couldn't. Our proctor who is also the AP coordinator at my school got all angry but finally they shut it off. Needless to say it was distracting but luckily I had almost finished so it wasn't too big of a deal. I know that sounds pretty boring but w/e...</p>
<p>One time I had a grizzly bear as a proctor!</p>
<p>My AP English Lit test was given in this little closet/office room which is located right on the main central (therefore, loudest and most crowded) hallway of my school. In the middle of the essay section there was a class change and these kids got in a fight or something right outside the door. We could hear everything, and one kid got pushed into the door or something and ended up flying into the room! For the whole test, we could hear teachers talking in the teacher workroom next door to the extent that I could understand whole conversations (the sound was going over the cinderblock walls and through the open ceiling area). Last but not least, we had to sit through the announcements at the beginning of 1st period and the more lengthy morning announcements near the end of the test. I ended up with a 4, so it must have not bothered me too much.</p>
<p>I wrote that money was bad also...but i don't know my score.</p>
<p>i feel happy and cheated at the same time. While I'm overjoyed at my 5s on Phys C: Mech and English Lit since I self studied those, I know the curve will be nowhere near as generous in college.</p>
<p>IN the break of my Micro test (I was the only one taking), I went to use the bathroom. But the local "modern media" kids wanted me to dance for the camera. I felt like a monkey, but monkey seem to be having a good time. So I spent like 5 minutes dancing to like Lil' Bow Wow. I got back to the test room and still realized I had to pee. Thus agrivating my test proctor and GC, but I don't know how much this help/hurt my scores, because the phone service is against me!</p>
<p>I drew a sudoku puzzle and a cartoon for two of the essays on the Macro exam and got a 4.</p>
<p>So the AP Government exam has four essays, and you've got a total of 100 minutes for all four. So you should spend about 25 minutes on each one, but it's up to you to divide your time. I did half the first essay, all of the second, and was just starting on the third. I began to be curious about how much time I had left and I looked on the board, which said "Section ends: 10:40" I started freaking out, and writing like the devil, because looking at my watch I saw it was 10:30. I had about ten minutes left to write the entire fourth essay, finish up the third, and go back and do the second half of the first. I started switching back and forth like crazy, writing one sentence for one essay, another paragraph for another essay, a few words on yet another. I went like mad, hoping I'd get enough down on paper to earn a decent score. I didn't waste a moment to look at my watch again, I just figured I'd keep going till the proctor told us to stop. Mind you, this proctor has a history of falling asleep during exams, so I was hoping against hope that she'd fall asleep and accidentally give us an extra 20 minutes. Finally, I realized I had finished off the first essay, polished up the third, and even managed to pull the fourth essay off pretty well. So I finally took a moment to look at my watch, to figure out just how long the proctor had let us go for, and it was 10:45. Taking a look at the board, it now said "Section ends: 11:05" Apparently my proctor had decided that the 25 mins for each essay constituted a "section" and changed the end time on the board every 25 minutes. The whole thing didn't end until 11:30. And it was 10:45. And I was completely finished. I had an extra 45 minutes to spare after racing my behind off just to finish on time. And the worst part was that half the kids in the class had done the same thing, and by 11:00 everyone in the classroom was done. But in the end, I finished the whole test, wrote an extra three and a half pages discussing everything I knew about government (which I labeled essay number five) and ended up getting a 5 on the exam. All this after my government teacher gave me a 65 for my third quarter grade. But all's well that ends well.</p>
<p>^^^ lol that sounds like something I would do.</p>
<p>i misread one of the questions for bio and that screwed me over i guess.
bio teacher was a joke cuz he always thought that we knew everything and didnt need ne help. world idk cuz im pretty distraught about my grade and i hated my teacher. hehe rant :)</p>
<p>On the government exam, I took up ALL the pages in the pink FR book. </p>
<p>And, on my econ test, everyone around me had given up except for me, and I was just sitting there writing my ass off the entire time while thinking everyone else was done. Then, they told me they gave up because they didn't know the material well enough. Maybe I did well? Econ teacher says she thinks I did.</p>
<p>In Spanish, don't remind me... I was sooooo prepared for that test. But, I was sick on test day. Not to mention, I wasn't expecting the whole MC to be changed (they got rid of the easy questions). Not to mention I starting hacking a lung on the speaking portion... :(</p>
<p>Remember this is AP story time not whine and give excuses time</p>
<p>We had this proctor with the most annoying voice of all time. My counselor, realizing that people don't listen, told us to take out our cells and turn them off. The mean proctor lady then put on this fake astonishment and said "They wouldn't have cell phones, not after I told them not to." The counselor then proceeds to take out her phone and turn it off. This other lady was crazy though....couldn't proctor for ****.</p>
