APs ARE DONE!!!!

<p>Any thoughts on any of them??? I thought the Calc wasn't too bad.</p>

<p>APs may be done, but there is still another week and a half of IB Tests. </p>

<p>I personally thought the AP Psychology Exam was very easy and I didn't even take the AP class but rather the IB course which excludes 3 or 4 chapters covered in AP. Chemistry, on the other hand, was difficult.</p>

<p>I can imagine with chemistry...I took it last year...ugh!!!</p>

<p>What are IB's?? Whats the difference between them and the APs??</p>

<p>My daughter still has her Latin:Vergil AP exam tomorrow (which is really tough because today was the last day of school for all the non-Latin AP seniors). She had six AP exams this year and I know she cannot wait for tomorrow night when she can relax (for a day or so and then she has to take the USNA online math exam).</p>

<p>IB stands for "International Baccalaureate" which was designed to be (according to the IBO) "the highest High School Diploma" a student can earn anywhere in the world. </p>

<p>It is different from AP in that it is truly international (for example, my Psychology Exam will likely be graded in Sweden) </p>

<p>It is also different from AP in that there are more requirements than simply exams (which are based on a 1-7 scale, not 1-5 like AP) in addition to an exam in History, English, Chemistry or Biology, a Foreign Language, an elective (Psychology, Art, Computer Science, etc.), and Mathematics, candidates must also complete an in-depth Extended Essay of 5000 words, 150 hours of Community, Action and Service (CAS) and complete the Theory of Knowledge class. </p>

<p>I could go on and on but that is a basic overview.</p>

<p>I loved the Calc AB exam, it was much easier than the practice I took the saturday before. Physics B on the otherhand, I bombed. I'm hoping for a 3. Next year won't be fun, I'm planning on 4-5 APs. My school is in the process of becoming IB, teachers have to leave alot for the IB convention things.</p>

<p>I took the AP Macro exam today, man did I feel lost. The AP Govt exam on the other hand was easy.</p>

<p>Yeah AP Gov was a lot less vague than I thought it would be. And Calc I really stressed out about but I found it relatively easy. Microeconomics was today and.....eeh I think I did well enough. Remember though....we must take any and all information regarding the multiple choice section TO THE GRAVE!!</p>

<p>I've been done since Monday. I'm hoping for 5's on my US, Lang, and german exams. But probably got a 2 on physics B. I am horrible at physics. Thank God for Chem next year.</p>

<p>I thought the AP Lit test was easy...like you didn't even have to take the AP course to do well on the test. The Stats test wasn't bad either. AP Latin: Catullus/Ovid is my last one, and is supposed to be tomorrow, but I'm taking a make-up next Thursday. Yay for an extra week of studying!</p>

<p>Calc and bio were pretty easy this year.</p>

<p>Gov was super easy and AP Spanish.....well, let's just say that it was marginally easier than i thought it'd be ;)</p>

<p>I thought English Lang/Comp, Calc, and U.S. Government were relatively easy, but I got destroyed in Computer Science A. Bad, bad exam...</p>

<p>Oh yes, and the MCs can be revealed to no one...haha, that is the funniest part of the directions! Of course no one takes that too seriously ;)</p>

<p>Lit was ok, US gov was good, psych was really good....physics i was pretty lost except that awesome "design an experiment", comparative gov was ok...stat everything was FABULOUS except that last question with the thermometers, grrrr. Chem was ok, I felt a lot more prepared than i thought I would on the titration</p>

<p>Haha, English Lit and Comp anyone? My hand was shot after those 3 essays.</p>

<p>Woah Woah, 5000 words for the IB essay, thats rediculous, thats like 9 pages typed single spaced, what is the time framed for that? Is it hand written?</p>

<p>ohhhh the literature.......I wanted to scream I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT EFFING NIGHT HAWK!!!! and physics I felt if I really put in the time I could have done well....nothing on the exam was extremely hard except for all of those electricity problems.</p>

<p>omg the night hawk thing was WEEEEEEEEEEEIRD</p>

<p>but i wrote about My Antonia on the open question b/c it seemed to fit PERFECTLY</p>

<p>yeah the open question I thought was kind of vague with regard to the word "country." At first I thought it meant county like nation...and then I thought of a remote place so I used Lord of the Flies...idk...i thought it worked. Some people in my room thought it acutallly meant like the American Midwest....ignorant new yorkers</p>

<p>HAHA, two people in my class used Russia from Crime and Punishment b/c they though it ment nation too! I used the heath from King Lear. Nighthawk, dont even get me started</p>

<p>Crime and Punishment....ughhhh....I really have hated everything I've read this year....we are now reading the handmaid's tale....shoot me now!!</p>
