<p>I'm an incoming freshman and I'm curious what APs other future-gauchos are taking. Last year I got a 3 on the Calc AB exam, this year I'm hoping for 3s on Calc BC and Psych (I'm happy UCSB accepts 3s).</p>
<p>What are you taking and how are you preparing?</p>
<p>i took calc AB (5) and chem (4) my senior year. these were the only AP courses i took in high school :D. for calc i only did the practice problems that my teacher gave me. for chem i started reading the textbook about 2 months before the exam (i didn’t study or do homework during the whole year and the teacher didn’t really teach he only gave us practice exercises which i never did anyway LoL). found out later that it satisfied a GE requirement at UC and got me 8 units (only got 4 units for AP calc) =D</p>
<p>Nice! Yeah…ideally I’d like to get a 4 on the AB subscore, a 3 on the BC exam, and a 4 on psych…but, again, I just need 3s across the board.</p>
<p>good luck =D. it’s really nice to find out that you r exempt from taking classes that you need to take just to satisfy the annoying general ed requirements lol.</p>
<p>I have taken AP World History, AP Biology, AP English Language, and AP U.S History. I am now taking AP Government, AP Macroeconomics, AP Calculus AB, and AP Studio Art. To be honest, I haven’t been studying as much as I should be and I have only been to a couple of review sessions that my teachers have. I just cant wait until testing is over. haha.</p>
<p>Jesus Noor you took hella AP classes. I’ve only taken one (AP Chemistry).</p>
<p>i dropped AP lit and US his at the beginning of my junior year when i realized i couldn’t handle them. i took SAT US his at the end of the year after taking US history and ended up with a 380 LOL. i also dropped AP gov at the beginning of my senior year since i kinda saw that it wasn’t really my thing. i took US history last quarter and barely passed. this quarter i’m taking world history and i’m struggling right now. (stupid GE requirements - -"). i thought i was gonna drop it but today i just figured out that the last day to drop was yesterday. i just suck at any kind of history xD.</p>
<p>Haha I know and that is nothing compared to some of the kids at my school. I kinda regret doing that because that made my junior year hell. lol. but atleast i got it out of the way.</p>
<p>“I just cant wait until testing is over.”</p>
<p>Agreed.</p>
<p>And I also have my POLS 12 (American Government and Politics) taken care of because I took POLS 101 at SBCC last summer. And I’m taking Chicano Studies this summer at SBCC too.</p>
<p>I almost took AP Art, Spanish, and English this year too…but I decided I wanted a break =).</p>
<p>None of those would have helped me at UCSB anyways, except for English…but I’m hoping I can just do well on the AWPE.</p>
<p>Yeah I can’t wait for testing to be over too.</p>
<p>I took APUSH and APLang last year. (I got 4’s on both)</p>
<p>This year I’m taking APGov, APLit, and AP Bio…however I don’t think I’m going to do good on the tests. I’ve been slacking off, especially after finding out I got into UCSB.</p>
<p>"I’ve been slacking off, especially after finding out I got into UCSB. "</p>
<p>Same here!!! It’s like…alright well I’m going to UCSB…so why am I still here in HS? haha</p>
<p>My calc teacher told me that I have the worst case of senioritis that he’s seen in 3 years. XP</p>
<p>Yeah that’s my sentiment too.
I’m mentally done with high school.</p>
<p>Can someone tell me how to send AP scores? I know what I’ve passed, but I can’t find it anywhere on collegeboard.com so they aren’t official yet. I didn’t send it when I first took them because I didn’t know I was going to UCSB. So how do you send your official scores now?</p>
<p>I took US AP (4), and I am taking English AP and Calc. AP AB >.<</p>
<p>If you’re taking Calc AB, and you’re planning on entering a science type major, do your best.
Getting a 3 or a 4 will pass you out of Math 3A
Getting a 5 will pass you out of Math 3A & 3B.
(Just passing Calc BC will get you out of both, I believe.)</p>
<p>You could ideally start in Math 3C, which knocks two quarters of math out of the way. I was stoked when I heard I didn’t have to do 3a/b.</p>
<p>one thing, though, is that getting a 5 on cal AB only gives you 4 units (for math 3a) although you can skipp 3b and go on to 3c. so, you can still take 3b and get credit for it. you can easily get an A too ;).</p>
<p>I got a 5 on Calc AB, and I wasn’t allowed to take Math 3B. Since I passed out of it, I was unable to take it due to the double matriculation rule. I had to start in Math 3C.</p>
<p>(Just passing Calc BC will get you out of both, I believe.)</p>
<p>^Yep, that’s what I wanna do (comp sci major).</p>
<p>and ashlee…if you’re taking any APs this year there’s a section on the fill-in name/address bubble parts where you indicate if you want to send scores to a specific school…and it sends all scores up to 4 years past (so basically all scores you got throughout hs.)</p>
<p>@mikepaer: oh, i guess it’s different for engineering then. i’m in letters and science and i asked them if i could take math 3b, they said i could so i took it and got credit for it.</p>
<p>You have to call this number,</p>
<p>888-308-0013 </p>
<p>You need a credit card, and your social security number.
It’ an annoying process…I wish I knew I was going to UCSB last year.</p>
