<p>I'm really upset. REALLY upset. My physics teacher was my favorite teacher, and now I feel like I let him down. I think he expected me to pass. But he didn't cover everything on the test. I'd say a good 25% of the exam was completely unknown to me.</p>
<p>What will colleges think? I got an A in the class both semesters, but a 1 on the exam. What do I do?</p>
<p>I'm ****ed. I could've sworn I got at least a 2.</p>
<p>I also got 2s on both the econs. This is so depressing.</p>
<p>Should I even report my scores to colleges?</p>
<p>I got 4s on English Lang and US Govt, a 5 on Human Geo, and 3s on Calc AB and US Hist.</p>
<p>You can choose to not send in your AP score for physics but colleges basically see it as you getting a 1 or 2 anyway. If you got an A in the class then it throws up a red flag for grade inflation.</p>
<p>I can't help that some teachers inflate grades. It's not like all teachers do it.</p>
<p>take this as a lesson not to trust your teachers.</p>
<p>It's not like I can self-study physics either. lawl</p>
<p>I was good at what my teacher taught. But what he taught did not correlate well with the exam.</p>
<p>Whatever, it's not like I'm applying to ive league schools. I just want to get into UF. That's all.</p>
<p>Could I explain it to colleges? Do you think they will be able to figure it out?</p>
<p>physics b is actually not too hard to self study for. the pass rate at my school (3 or higher) was pretty bloody low. but a couple of us who lol memorized formulas and skimmed the modern phys, e/m stuff (which my teacher didnt touch on) did just fine on the test (5). but yea, i'm a little surprised that even though you knew that the teacher failed to cover some of the material, you didnt take the chance to take a brief look at some of the other topics.</p>
<p>You don't need to explain. Just don't put it down.</p>
<p>And anyone can self-study AP Physics B. It's not that hard; Just get a PR or Kaplan.</p>

<p>Well for me it is, okay.</p>
<p>Colleges shouldn't hold me completely accountable for my scores. What's the point of teachers then? lulz</p>
<p>I shouldn't be expected to study all of physics B all on my own, especially while trying to study for 5 other exams.</p>
<p>This really sucks. I'm going to visit UF soon. I'll ask for advice from an advisor or someone.</p>
<p>do colleges even give credit for physics B? i thought it was the easiest of all the aps.</p>
<p>not to make you feel bad...</p>
<p>It won't matter in the end. I go to UF and got a 5 on that test, and I ended up not using the credit because there's only so many credits you can get over there (30)</p>

<p>THANKS, rub it in my face why dontcha'.</p>
<p>It counts for introductory physics. I don't need the credits. I'm just scared the score is going to hurt my chances. I did very well on other exams. ahhhh</p>
<p>What's your intended major? And are you going to be there in the fall?</p>
<p>no offense, but you could/should study on your own in the future...my teachers are insanely good at saying we "don't need to study-"prepared us enough"...my APUSH teacher tried to say that prep books were evil or some such nonsense...so I just ignored it and studied. So enough my AP USH teacher told us that Benjamin Franklin was a president (he wasn't...), I got a 5.</p>
<p>they will probably think you were just sick, if you did well (3+) on your other exams...if you are really worried, then take the SAT II in october for physics and ace it.</p>
<p>(888) 308-0013 </p>
<p>this number is disconnected. How did you get your score?</p>
<p>Try dialing a 1 in front. The number on the packet is 1 888 308 0013</p>

<p>I thought about it, but I really don't want to relearn all of physics in a few months. haha</p>
<p>I could have been sick. Good point. They wouldn't know.</p>
<p>Colleges don't care about your ap grades...by giving you credit...they're losing money.</p>
