What kind of high school do you come from, and how did you do on AP?

<p>my teachers never pushed us, and even no MC practice or anything.</p>

<p>and we all fail lol T_T cry</p>

<p>and we even don't have all the AP classes, even less than half, so we kinda stand in the middle of AP and IB. and IB sucks to hell ~!</p>

<p>small, po', public...only 6 APs. </p>

<p>probably 75% who take an AP class pass the exam (but only about 10% take APs).</p>

<p>I go to a very poor public high school with just as many APs as ziggy's. </p>

<p>The only exam people pass is the calculus AB exam; everyone fails the others.</p>

<p>I go to a poor magnet school with a lot of AP's... like 25-ish.
I got a 5 on world. We do pretty well on all of them except for Physics because our teacher suchs. Pretty well=on average 85% make 3+. The only statistics our school has ever realeased.</p>

<p>Our school only has 12 APs I think. They'll be IB in a few years. I think most people do good on their exams, but most don't take them. I got a 4 on Stat and am taking Calc AB and Physics B this year. Should get 5 on Calc and praying for a 4 on Physics.</p>

<p>It depends. Our school has English Lit, one of the economics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Spanish Language, French Language, World History, US History, Statistics, both of the Calcs, US Government, Art. I have taken the Lit, Chem, Psych, Spanish, Us, and Euro (when we had it) classes, and the lit, language (on my own), Psych, Span, and US tests. I've gotten fours on the two from last year with minimal effort. Overall, I think the only truly horrible teacher I had was for Psych. I think our AP teachers really do well. Even though this year, the AP World teacher randomly quit halfway through the year, so I heard those students had a really hard time. ::shrug::</p>

<p>"my teachers never pushed us, and even no MC practice or anything.</p>

<p>and we all fail lol T_T cry" </p>

<p>Take... take responsibility. Take responsibility. -__-" Erick Liang anyone?</p>

<p>Agree with the 'take the responsibilty,' but can't deny that the majority of students need some motivating factor from their school to be successful. And everyone benefits from a good teacher. Anyway, I come from a poor-ish IB school that also offers a number of APs, however all are exams are paid for (I know don't ask me when our other resources are little to nothing). Last year I got a 5 in EurH, Stats, 4 in Engl Lang. </p>

<p>This year I took/am taking AB Calc, APUSH, Engl Lit, Psych and Physics. We'll see how they go with not-so-good teachers in combination to increased time pressures in general this year. I have a feeling not a large majority of my classmates do well (last year's Engl Lang. pass rate was 53%.. lowest in a v. long time b/c bad teacher that no longer teaches AP this year)</p>

<p>Very small poor public high school. Only offers four AP's. Not a lot of people take them and the pass rate varies. Really high for U.S. History (I actually ended up with a five) average on English Lit and not too great for Cal AB. Statistics was just added this year but only three people decided to take the test. I doubt the pass rate was very high.</p>

<p>25 + AP's fairly large public. 90% 3 + rate, lots of 4's and 5's for top students.</p>

<p>Public, competitive, 2000 kids</p>

<p>we offer 20 AP classes and the full IB program</p>

<p>I have 2 5's and 1 4 so far, taking 6 this year expecting mostly 5s maybe 1 or 2 4s</p>

<p>Public, hella rich (richest community in US), very competitive (top 100 U.S. News). Over 20 APs offered, and almost everyone passes their exams. I got a 4 on my exam soph year (World Hist), but I literally spent about 15 min total studying for it. I worked majorly hard on this year's exams though.</p>

<p>Tiny, impoverished public school- however, our kids actually do fairly well... class average for the AP Bio was a 4.2 last year. I got 5s on US History and Bio last year, and am hoping to get the same score on the seven I'm taking this year (4 or 5 on Lit, 5 on Euro, US Gov't, World History, Micro, Macro, and Lang to go)</p>

<p>To clarify, I'm taking the Lang and World late.... I was in Dallas for some DECA thing, which principally consisted of sitting in a hotel room watching the news and Adult Swim</p>

<p>My school offers:</p>

<p>-English Lang (it's not AP technically, but the teacher makes us take the test and teaches it AP style)
-English Lit
-Calculus AB/BC
-U.S. History
-Environmental Science
-Statistics</p>

<p>That's it. My school is small and poor, and I don't know about the passing percentage, but I would guess it's not very high. For a small calculus class of about maybe 20, only 3 or 4 got a 3 or higher.</p>

<p>lol now we are not even done with electromagnetism, and we are going to have a saturday school just to finish it, lol</p>

<p>no review, just nothing, and we are even top 50 in the stupid US News thing.</p>

<p>i go to a small, public, magnet school. it doesn't offer that many ap's (i think about 10) and i've taken all of them except ap spanish and calc ab. the pass rates for each class vary a lot:</p>

<p>-calc ab/bc: 95ish/100% pass rate, our calc teacher is the best math teacher i've ever had
-english lang/lit: required of all juniors/seniors, but there's about a 70% pass rate for both tests
-us history: only around 55-60%, required of all juniors
-us govt: only around 50-55%, required of all seniors, the teacher's not that great but she's decent
-euro history: around 70-80%
-biology: only around 55-60%
-chem: really really low, around 5%. the teacher is terrible. we had a different teacher last year and the pass rate shot up to 40%
-comp sci: usually around 70%, but they don't offer it anymore for some reason</p>

<p>oh, and even though we're a magnet school, everyone who takes the ap class is required to take the ap test, so some pass rates are surprisingly low.</p>

<p>i go to a public high school in alabama (a pretty good one though), we offer 18 or so APs, i know our average AP lit and comp score was a 4, plus most o the APUSH kids make a 4 or 5</p>
