<p>I was so shocked at my scores once I received them.</p>
<p>Comparative Politics: Expected a 2, got a 4</p>
<p>I was signed up for 7 AP exams, so as this one was the more obscure one, I blew it off when studying for it. The class was only nine weeks, and beyond our homework assignment of 5 3-page essays, I just slept the entire time while our teacher blabbed on about all this crap I could care less about. I lost my review book, so I didn't look over anything in my 5 months from the class to the test, so I was expecting the worst. I guess I wrote those 5 essays well enough that I could b/s my way through the test to a 4.</p>
<p>English Language: Expecting a 2/3, got a 4
I'm confused on this one too, as I'm a reading comprehension retard. I wrote my essays on stupid things like Relay for Life and the album Nevermind. I guess I had good insight on the passage one? But that couldn't possibly override my other two essays, let alone my abysmal MC testing abilities.</p>
<p>U.S. Government: Expected a 2/3, got a 4</p>
<p>Same story as Comparative Politics really. 9 weeks class again, but this time it was a lot more work, and I studied a lot for all our tests. But I still blew it off in April/May so I thought that would hurt me, but I guess I retained enough info to pass.</p>
<p>Psychology: Expected a 5, got a 4</p>
<p>This class was a total joke, but I crammed like mad hell when May rolled around. Staying up super late the night before and cramming all morning before the afternoon test, I memorized as many names as possible, making the bare minimum connections to what they did, since I would only have to find keywords and names to get the answers on the MC correct. My method worked for the 100 question MC test, and I thought I got about 85 right putting me in good range for a 5. Then came that question about that stupid girl who couldn't find any friends and needed our help in breaking the barrier of the club clique she was trying to enter. That girl I think is what screwed me up, since I couldn't come up with much to write for her.</p>
