<p>Soph:
world history 2
psyh 4</p>

<p>junior:
eng lang 2
chem 3
env science 4</p>

<p>Senior year going to take:
bio
physics
gov
econ
calc AB</p>

<p>my question is were any of you genious people out there able to manage bio, physics and calc in the same year!! which one is easiest(not specifically good at either one) and hardest.. which one will probably take the most studying to get a 3,4,or 5 </p>

<p>oh and as you can see im more sciency than writing and history oriented... haha</p>

<p>is 10 ap tests impressive for ucsb or ucsd or ucsc??</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>econ and gov should be fine and are easy AP exams
i heard physics C is the hardest AP exam and physics B is much more doable
bio is pretty easy and it usually has a generous curve
calc ab is easy if you're good at math</p>

3

<p>Not impressive if you're not even passing them all >.></p>

<p>You should be aiming for a high chance 4/5.</p>

<p>It's quite easy really. Calculus is simple. I hear physics is moderately difficult. Bio can be tedious but usually a doable class. I would not call gov an easy exam if you want a 5. Econ is easy.</p>

<p>Very doable.</p>

<p>^^^ Um APs still look impressive regardless if they passed it or not. Don't be so criticl. The teacher could just suck. Anyway, Calc is very simple. It's very straight forward and if you're decent in math, you'll be fine. Physics is a pain I hear. Expect a hard class. Bio is ALL memorization. good memory = A</p>

<p>That really depends on what you're comparing with. If we're talking average applicants to top colleges.. not really.</p>

6

<p>Well, most colleges don't even look at AP scores. If they do, they only look t see if you passed or not. I talked to the Cornell admission officer and he said that, for the acceptance process, that they barely look at APs. You don't only need 4/5.</p>

7

<p>i actually do think AP scores matter...there's a spot on applications that make you list AP grades
colleges really don't want to see 2s or 1s but it really depends on what colleges you're looking at.
i'd say for ivies, try to get 3 +...dunno for everything else..</p>

8

<p>Okay (assuming you're right)</p>

<p>he has still failed 2 tests. they're not 3's. OP, if you really want to pursue this many AP's, you have to make sure you can at least pass them.</p>

<p>Froozle: for Ivy league colleges; I think they'd like to see straight 5's and some/rare 4's..hehe xDD</p>

<p>Do they see ALL your ap scores? Or only the ones you submmit?</p>

10

<p>The ones you submit.</p>

11

<p>Yes, I agree with you there Hurt. They should not send their failing scores.</p>

12

<p>Yes, but then again there has been that issue of : If you took an AP class but did not take the AP exam, that might raise a red flag</p>

13

<p>If you don't send your score, the college officials think that you failed the test. If you do send the score, the college officials, KNOW you failed the test, but at least you were honest. It is really your choice on what to do, but either way is pretty bad.</p>
