<p>Calculus (any)
and
English (any)
and
History (any)</p>

<p>do people like this even exist: those who can score perfectly in so many subject areas?</p>

2

<p>Yes:</p>

<p>Calc BC, English Lang, and US History, as well as French Lang, and both Physics C exams.</p>

<p>I'm sure that many other people are the same way.</p>

3

<p>Yes, you will find many on this site.</p>

4

<p>Many people...</p>

5

<p>^ ditto (not me though...not yet anyways)</p>

6

<p>Not me personally, but MANY on this site</p>

<p>It's really all about your approach to the exams.</p>

<p>The valedictorian at my school last year got 5 5's
Cal AB, English Comp, US History, Environmental Science, Spanish Lang (non native)</p>

<p>then she got 6 more senior year
Micro Eco, Govt, English Lit, Cal BC, Stat, and Spanish Lit</p>

<p>I think you're forgetting that a 5 isn't neccessarily a perfect score. In Calc BC, you need about 65% to get a 5.</p>

10

<p>Yes. It's not really that hard, with the curves. I've gotten 9 5's so far.</p>

<p>Maybe it's just that some people tell themselves things like, "I'm a math person; I can't do English/History" that prevents them from getting 5's in all subject areas.</p>

11

<p>65% for a 5? What about for the other scores? That's a pretty lenient curve...</p>

12

<p>65% for a 5 is generally for the math and science tests... the humanities are a tad less lenient. not by much, though.</p>

13

<p>Btw, I was asking for the Calculus BC test.</p>

14

<p>I got 5's in all three of those subject areas.. and more!</p>

15

<p>Yeah, my sis got 5s on AB, BC, English Lit, English Lang, US History and Art History...too much to live up to</p>

<p>You just described me and i dont even know you</p>

17

<p>65% is for Calc BC (about 70/108 composite). Other science classes are in that range, while the history classes are 70-75% and the English classes are 80%.</p>

<p>I think there was a thread a while ago detailing this.</p>

<p>My son got 5s in BC Calculus and European History as a sophomore and a 5 in U.S. History last year. The only blemish on his record is a 4 in English Language, and yes, he was quite ticked with himself -- overall, he has 6 5s and that 4. He hopes the result with English Lit will be better.</p>

<p>5 on world hist??</p>

<p>or humann geo?</p>

<p>or spanish?</p>

<p>Dude me too. I just told my AP Eng Lit teacher that I probably won't take the AP exam because I'm mostly a math person and I really don't believe that a 4 or a 5 is an obtainable goal for me.</p>
