I found AP tests are quite funny

<p>Since the OP said he thought it was extremely easy, I'm assuming there were no MC questions which he "had no idea" or thought was "challenging." Regardless of this, I still think that the leaving nothing blank was his downfall, there must have been at least a few on which s/he was mistaken.</p>

<p>thought i gota 5 in psych....super easy....ended up getting a 4, which im still happy with :)</p>

<p>dazzle - same here... although I called one of the psychologists in my essays a man although she was a woman.. oops :]</p>

<p>I find your scores quite funny.</p>

<p>i thot i aced euro and bio (well maybe not so much on bio since i bs' two frq's)</p>

<p>and ended up getting a 4.</p>

<p>so here's my theory.</p>

<p>Collegeboard draws a raffle ticket for everyone's scores, compares that with your</p>

<p>previous scores, and matches it so its not too obvious.</p>

<p>i think this is a valid hypothesis, no?</p>

<p>Haha, quite valid in some cases. My scores were like my earliest ones so...</p>

<p>My sophomore son came out of the world history exam convinced he'd blown it. He thought he'd be lucky to get a 2. He was completely unprepared for the DBQ topic and basically invented his essay. So what did he get? Yep, a 5!</p>

<p>If you'd like to get the grade you expect, it's quite simple what you must do. Don't study, suck on the test, and get a one! There, you are now a psychic. Good job!</p>

<p>In all seriousness, I always say I'm going to get a three in all the tests so I won't get dissapointed. This time around, I thought I'd get 1's and 2's, and actually got very surprising (positive) results. :)</p>

<p>I think my theory is quite valid actually...</p>

<p>this one girl i know had a D the whole year</p>

<p>in human geo but got a 4</p>

<p>6 kids at my school took APUSH</p>

<p>kid 1- slept through entire DBQ and FR due to staying up all night to study: 1
kid 2- did NOTHING entire year, didn't study: 3
kid 3- did next to nothing entire year, didn't study: 3
kid 4- studied adequately, more worried about other exams: 3
kid 5- history student of the year: 5
me- studied like crazy, aced the class, took tons of pract tests where I recieved 4s and 5s, thought I did well: 2!!!</p>

<p>never been more mad/disappointed in my life.</p>

<p>i told u!</p>

<p>my theory is valid!</p>

<p>For AP i set my expectation low so I always get 1 grade higher than what I expect except for APUSH thought I would get a 4 and I got a 4 however I thought I would fail AP Euro (seeing as I didn't take the class) and AP Calc (seeing as I had a sucky teacher) and both I ended up with a 3.</p>
