<p>@Amyga17, nice scores! I’m self-studying Physics C E+M next year. Seeing that you got 5s, how much preparation did you need? What textbooks, what study methods did you use? </p>
<p>Got a 5 on Physics B this year, already prepping for next year.</p>
<p>Predicted/Actual</p>
<p>Calculus AB - 3-4/4 - So happy about this one. Math is definitely not my strong suit, so getting a 4 is great for me. I really screwed up on the FR - I could not comprehend what was going on with that darn gravel processing plant or whatever in the first problem (not the problems associated with it, just like the introductory paragraph about the plant) and had to re-read it multiple times. I think I was just nervous and not thinking rationally. I finally understood it and got through all of the problems for #1, but then my time was really limited and I didn’t get through everything that I needed on the second problem, and since it was a calculator problem, I was totally screwed on it. </p>
<p>Also, my teacher moved painfully slow - we didn’t get to integrals until around February-March. Consequently, we had to cram a bunch of material in the weeks before the exam, which is part of the reason why I set my goal for a 4 instead of a 5.</p>
<p>Spanish Language - 3-4/4 - I definitely wanted to pull a 5 for my teacher, but I am totally happy with a 4. The reading and informal sections were a breeze for me, but the listening and formal parts likely killed me.</p>
<p>Psychology - 4/5 - Relieved on this one. I slaughtered one of the FR questions (I think I got it all wrong), but I think I got the other one totally right. My MC must have been good enough to make up for a lower FR score.</p>
<p>US Gov. - 5/5 - I thought this one was a joke. I mean, look at FR question 3 - seriously!?! Apparently, a large percentage of people got zeros on each of the questions. Makes me wonder if some schools that force all AP students to take AP exams contribute to this, as a government course is typically required at most schools. Glad I pulled off a 5 for my teacher though since nobody in the class from the year before mine got higher than a 3.</p>
<p>Apes: 5
apush: 5
lang: 5
so happy!!!</p>
<p>Self teaching for AP Micro and Macro next year. Anyone have suggestions on prep materials, textbooks, outside resources, etc?</p>
<p>Why do 45-50 % of AP Calc BC students get a 5?</p>
<p>@burnout because one, only the “best” schools offer it. By best I mean schools with really talented teachers and students. Also because only the best of the best math students take BC calc</p>
<p>AP Government- 5
AP Physics C- 5
AP Calculus AB- 5
AP English Lit- 3 (kind of expected… English isn’t my strong suit).
Overall pretty happy, I’ve taken 8 AP’s in all and I’m finally done!</p>
<p>@thebennorton</p>
<p>I’m sorry to hear about that. :(</p>
<p>The only advice I can give is to try harder next time or reduce some of year AP classes. </p>
<p>Don’t worry about your college chances. They aren’t over yet. You still get high school credit for the class if you passed with a C or higher. The only thing is that you won’t get college credit for your exam score</p>
<p>I think it is because many stronger students are more motivated to take BC. Also, many schools only offer AB, so only stronger students will take the leap and self-study for BC. As such, the results for BC contain a large percentage of fives.</p>
<p>Another reason why Calc BC has such high passing rights is that
<p>AP USH — 3 .</p>
<p>It was my first time so it’s fine.</p>
<p>It’s funny because BC had one of the lowest 5 % distribution in years in 2013. Yet I know no one who has gotten lower than a 5 on it.</p>
<p>AP Environmental Science - 4
AP Statistics - 4 Meh really wanted a 5.
AP Biology - 4 Expecting a 5.
AP Gov - 4 LOL this one is a joke. Slept through the class.
YOLO</p>
<p>AP Bio: 3.</p>
<p>honestly really disappointed because i studdied so much for it. but im a really slow reader and have poor logic so this years exam wouldve sucked no matter how much i studdied :(</p>
<p>@gozilla u just failed life brahhhhhhh</p>
<p>I’ll pose an open question to all of you.</p>
<p>I live in Illinois, meaning that I get access to my AP scores early, at 5 EST tomorrow morning, or 4 my time. I do not need the information for college, as I am going into my senior year. </p>
<p>Do you guys suppose that I should just stay up until 4? It’s only like an hour later than I usually go to bed.</p>
<p>AP Euro- 5, expected a 3-4 after that awful MC.</p>
<p>@Debater1996 its realy not a big deal, waiting a couple more hours isnt gonna hurt, im sure u got all 5s anyways</p>
<p>Can someone check my scores for me? I live in California! Please message me.</p>
<p>Brownie- I can check for you</p>
