How did I get a 1 on AP US History

<p>Can you bubble in “■■■■■”?</p>

If you’re joking, this really isn’t funny. I studied harder than I ever have, cos it was my first AP exam. My only one this year, yes. 10th grade. And I am home schooled and took the COURSE online. Took the exam at my public school. But whatever, I’m just an idiot and it’s a lesson learned the very very hard way.
The proctor probably did tell us where to bubble in the answers, though I can’t remember all that well. I was nervous and rushed and I threw all that hard work and preparation out the window.</p>

<p>“I studied harder than I ever have, cos it was my first AP exam.”</p>

<p>If it’s your first AP, how could you have studied harder for it than any other AP exam?</p>

<p>You’re either:</p>

<p>A) a ■■■■■
B) a child with ADHD
or
C) immature/stupid for not listening to the proctor on your FIRST AP exam</p>

<p>My guess goes with A.</p>

<p>I think the OP means s/he studied harder for this exam than any other exam s/he’s ever taken, since this is his/her first AP exam and so the AP exam means more to him/her than any test at school.</p>

<p>I don’t think the OP is a ■■■■■. I just think s/he was so nervous/excited about the AP exam that s/he just made a major mistake about bubbling.</p>

<p>while I get mad at all the standardized testing my kids have to take, at least it taught them that there is an answer sheet that goes wtih the exam! Who knew this would be a peril of homeschooling??</p>

<p>Okay I admit I’m an idiot! Anyone else accusing me of being a ■■■■■ (what would be the point of making this up?) really doesn’t need to waste their time on this thread. Actually it’s kind of pointless anyway.
For future reference I’m a girl, and thanks everyone for trying to help and understanding :)</p>

<p>Haha, wow, I’m sorry! But like someone said, this could be excellent material for a college essay :slight_smile: or just as a story to tell your kids someday lol</p>

<p>O_o Actually this has kind of made me worried! Not that I did the same thing but whenever I take standardized tests, I always block out the proctor because I always assume what they’re saying is common sense and there’s no need to listen…maybe I should listen from now on :p</p>
