<p>Hey now, lighten up, I'm pretty sure ktoto was just kidding.
To answer your question, there's really no way of knowing where those scores will end up. Like you said, it was basically just to see and for experience, so she probably mentally wasn't expecting much/too serious about it, so that will make a difference. Seeing as how she's not even high school yet, there are many factors (sports, EC's, friends, etc. etc.) that may determine the work effort she puts into it.</p>
<p>I didn't care on any of my practice tests and got lower grades because going 4 hours when it really doesn't matter is a lot to handle. During the actual tests I improved by a LOT on all of the sections.</p>
<p>I'm an international from Japan. I took AP English Lit, Calc AB, Physics C (both Mechanics and E/M), Human Geography, and Computer Science A. None of the tests I took were taken late but my AP scores are still NOT available on the PHONE! (as of the 7th).</p>
<p>This is weird...all my scores were available from the 1st when I took APs last year...anyone having the same problem?</p>
<p>hey Macha-- did you take the AP physics B class/test the year before you took AP phys c.? which was this year ... lol</p>
<p>well i just got my scores today but only after calling customer services. it seems the reason my scores weren't available by phone even by july 7th is that i forgot to enter my birthdate on one of the tests. the guy said that my birthday was entered as 00/00 b/c i didn't enter it on one of the tests so if you wanna check your scores even when customer services isn't up and you think you didn't enter your birthday try entering it as 00/00.</p>
<p>btw here are my scores
calc ab- 5
computer science ab- 5
english language- 4
u.s. history- 4</p>
<p>btw southasian mom you are way too asian and need to let your kid live with a bit more free reign i know i may be a bit sterotypical but if you are the typical asian mom then nazis are less strict than you.</p>
<p>*** she said that everyone in the class had to take it, be nice.</p>
<p>e^(?i) + 1 = 0- some are guessing that they grade international exams seperately from the rest (maybe a little later?)</p>
<p>fategghed, not all asian parents obsess over their kids. I personally enjoy the fact that my parents dont care about my study habits at all and only care to see the score reports. I dunno, I guess I get a sense of achievement to be able to get good grades myself without any help from other people.</p>
<p>hey i took the sat in 8th grade and got a 1250 (the old one). Dont diss overachievers.</p>
<p>Holy crap what did you get now?</p>
<p>That's nothing boy. 1330 for me in 8th grade. Even that's nothing. I know kids in NYS who got 1400s.</p>
<p>There's this NYC asian kid I know (won't reveal his name until I see his name as a siemens ap scholar or something somewhere) who scored the highest in the johns hopkins CTY tests in 7th and 8th grade...for the whole state...I'm not sure if he broke 1500 or not as an 8th grader). He won the NYS math tourney two years running and he's a rising junior....I don't know if he does much besides that because you can tell from some people and how they react in big events how much it means to them, and this kid at the state tourney was all fidgety and raising his hand as high as possible when it was asked who got a perfect score on the preliminaries...I don't know. Machines like those seem to usually get into top schools, but only because they're juggernauts like that and too valuable to pass up to some colleges.</p>
<p>Don't take offense to the asian comment, even though he goes along with the stereotype that asians are geniuses lol (which is not a bad thing...)</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>just got my scores in the mail today:</p>
<p>US History=4
German Language=5</p>
<p>Has ANYONE else taken German?</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments, fategghed and primeminister! I'll call AP services when they start their service at 9.</p>
<p>Many Japanese kids in my school have very demanding mums (or 'typical asian mums', as some people would like to call it). These kids obviously end up being valedictorians etc. in the end, but looking at them suffer for 4 years makes everyone feel very sorry. These mums literally demand straight A plus-es.</p>
<p>Although you're getting carried away if you start calling them stricter than nazis, and I don't think we have enough information about southasianmum to consider her as one of them, it's true that the world needs to undermine some asian mums' perfectionist tendencies.</p>
<p>Fategghed------your insult that asian moms are worse than nazis shows how immature and dense you are (well you are a high schooler right?)
We live in a place where EVER KID takes it
Anyway what's wrong w/supporting our kids, helping them realize their goals(whatever they may be), pointing them in the right direction,fostering good work ethic, being there to guide---That is what parents do-Asian or not
That's what is wrong w/this country and why our youth are so far behind---------parents don't get involved. I was born and brought up in the US and am a Pediatrician and have seen far too many times when the parents were the number one reason for a child failing academically, socially, physically, morally,etc.....SO DONT STEREOTYPE.
It will be interesting to see you what you will do when you are a parent. You have no right to judge others until then </p>
<p>I made a mistake posting on this thread------</p>
<p>Yep, you did, because it's a thread about AP scores and not ACT or SAT ones. So can we make that the end of the discussion? Speaking of AP scores...</p>
<p>Psych: 5
Eng Lit: 5
Calc AB: 5
Stat: 5
US Hist: 5 (this is from 2005)</p>
<p>By the way, my heritage is mostly French-Canadian and my mum doesn't really keep track of what I do with my time. Who'd've thunk it!?</p>
<p>I hate to stereotype, but I think parents that post on site regardless of race are pretty insane. "Helicopter Parents" if you will. I really do think if I had a parent like the ones on this site it would be a major hindrance to my social growth.</p>
<p>Well my parents were RIGHT there with my brother for everything. They even edited his college papers for a few years. The relationship between my cousin and her parents is crucial for her because they literally study together for hours every night and it really helps her get confidence and learn things. I on the other hand hate being with my parents for work and NEVER do. I am really independent with it all, and my parents realized that and never interfered. I think it depends on the kid. It was one way for my brother/cousin and another way for me.</p>
<p>What were your scores after 8th grade all of u really high scoring people.</p>
<p>The problem with obsessive parents are that they cant hold their kids' hands all their lives. I mean, letting kids be independent and fall a few times themselves isnt such a bad thing. I have heard of people they never got a single B in high school or college, but when they first fail a job interview, they were so depressed that they committed suicide.</p>
