<p>Get a 5 and rub it at your teacher’s face!</p>
<p>haha thanks guys! I was really confused as to why she would be so opposed to the idea of me taking the exam, but after all I’M the one paying for it. She has no right to tell me what to do with my own money. If I don’t pass, too bad, it’s not her loss. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds like a plan. :D</p>
<p>econ isn’t even hard, set up a self-study plan and study it all yourself. ITS ALL FACTS!!! easy self-study. Its all about knowing how the exam works and knowing the facts. There are TONS of resources online to help you out! </p>
<p>You don’t have much to lose, even if you don’t pass. If you don’t take the exam you automatically get a 0. Have fun sitting through six months of econ lecture, buying a 150$ econ book and paying thousands to take the class at a college. Passed ap exams = worth their weight in gold, literally.</p>
<p>^ I wholeheartedly agree. That’s why when my teacher told me that I was better at memorizing the concepts rather than understanding them, I secretly thought, “Um, hello? Isn’t most of the AP based on facts you need to MEMORIZE, thus making it a good self-study AP?!”</p>
<p>I still can’t believe she took advantage of the fact that I did poorly on one FRQ and used it against me. I probably shouldn’t have been so polite, either - shouldn’t have bothered even saying “Yes” when she said “Do not take the AP” in the first place. Then again, when she saw that I was silent at first, she gave me this look that told me I would be in trouble if I didn’t agree with her. </p>
<p>Ugh, the more I think about it, the more it seems like she was trying to manipulate me into thinking that I really wouldn’t do well. The part that ticked me off the most? I didn’t even get to see the breakdown of my FRQ score until after that long lecture about how I was incapable of understanding the material. When she finally dropped my paper off and left, I saw that it was just one question that I really missed, and I was pretty upset lol</p>
<p>Don’t be too concerned if it was just 1 frq. As long as you only leave one frq blank, you can still get a 5 ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I did this to my (regular) physics teacher. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>…you don’t understand why a teacher might not like it when a student just memorizes a bunch of facts instead of learning the subject?</p>
<p>^ No, I totally get that. I just phrased my thoughts the wrong way. The thing is, I understand the material. I can look at a fact, think about it, and make a correct conclusion about it most of the time. But on that question I messed up on, I linked the fact to this particular graph when it actually had nothing to do with it. </p>
<p>I just don’t think my teacher can automatically assume that I don’t understand ANYTHING in general based on one question that I made an incorrect conclusion about. The way she talked about it made it sound like I really wasn’t getting anything and that I would totally get a 1 or something, haha</p>
<p>Wow, your teacher is a moron.</p>
<p>Go pass it, or better yet, get a 5. Then you can rub it in her face.</p>
<p>And even if you fail, you’ll have no “what-if” thoughts and will still make her very angry.</p>
<p>It’s a win-win situation. Don’t let anybody intimidate you. Especially not a teacher. And especially, especially not a teacher who bases her assumptions of you on ONE measly question.</p>
<p>Keep us posted on how well you did!</p>
<p>^ Will do indeed 
I’m expecting somewhere around a 4 or a 5…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I want to see you get a 5 instead of a 4. :D</p>
<p>^ Yes, that would be preferable :)</p>
<p>QUOTE:“Don’t be too concerned if it was just 1 frq. As long as you only leave one frq blank, you can still get a 5.” </p>
<p>Is this true?</p>
<p>^I checked this out with the AP Pass Calculator. You could leave an FRQ blank and get a 5, if you scored perfect on the other FRQs and missed no more than about 5 MCs, leaving no MCs blank. And that would have to be either the second or third FRQ, since the first FRQ is worth more than the others. You could only miss around 1 or 2 MCs and get a 5 with leaving the first FRQ blank. So it is possible, but very unlikely, unfortunately. :(</p>
<p>Hey guys. Turns out I got a 4 on the exam. 
It wasn’t a 5, but at least I can show my teacher she was wrong when she told me to my face that I wouldn’t do well, so ha!</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulation. I was kinda hoping for a 5 to make your teacher feels horrible as punishment for being wrong, but a 4 is still good enough to rub it into your teacher’s face! </p>
<p>So, how are you going to show your teacher? Write and send a contemptuous email insulting your econ teacher for being wrong along with an attached file of your scanned AP Score Report, obviously showing that you got a freaking 4 and having a computerizing writing that says, “In your face, Mr/Mrs. <em>Name</em>”!? Or, well, I can’t think of any other way than that.</p>
<p>Overall, congratulation for your 4 on the AP exam.</p>
<p>^ Thanks I have a feeling most of the other people in my class didn’t do well, since it was just a first semester class, with all seniors (except me), and several of them admitted to not even having looked over the material since December.</p>
<p>Congratulations. The number won’t matter. But your score should be enough for much embarrassment for and grave underestimation of your teacher. I despise teachers who look at their students with condescension.</p>
<p>Are you going to write her a thank you letter for her “kind support” of you? :)</p>
