I got a 4. What I have to say is really get some practice in for writing DBQs and FRQs, especially in the timeframe you're given. Get an AP book early and start reviewing in like January in small chunks, and really get into the heavier studying habits in April. If you practice really efficient study habits, it's actually quite simple.

Thanks! Will do!

Got a 5 on AP Spanish
4 on AP Government
1 on the AP Calc test. I didn't try but if I did I probably would've got a 3...still not good

For those of you who took APUSH please tell me how you do.

And give some advice.

I got a 4. And that was with horrible time management and only a week before the test of [intense] cramming. I spent far too much time planning and writing my first essay, so when it came to the second, I skipped the planning stage so that I could speed it up. I still spent too much time on the second, so by the third essay, there was 10 minutes left and I had to basically scribble down an essay.

The multiple choice should be easy if you do well in your History class and you read and study the Princeton book. But practice doing essays in set time limits. The better you manage your time during the essays, the more consistent the quality of each essay will be, instead of the declining quality my essays had.

My World History teacher is also an APUSH teacher and she said that an essay is written every week in the class. So I will use that time to prepare and practice and basically take your advice.

Congratulations for your achievements!! Now if you don't mind, would you say how you felt after the AP Bio test and what you thought you were going to get? I still haven't received my scores and I'm extra nervous.

The Bio and Chem AP tests are super easy. The Physics exams is the only difficult science exam. Don't worry too much about it. I'm sure you did fine.

I can't believe I got a frickin four. It's one of the easiest AP classes and exams I've ever taken. Whatever. It got me college credit so it's all good. I just wish I ended with more 5s than 4s. Previous exams:

Bio - 4
Calc BC - 5
Lang - 5
World History - 4
US History - 4

I really should've never made an fours. IDK what happened.

Hello

How do we check?

Drais.

Interesting. When I was in HS I took AP courses and studied at local colleges that allowed HS students to come in and earn college credits but I never bothered with AP Exams. Just looking through this thread gives me a headache.

Straight 5's.

Calc AB - 5
English Lang - 5
APUSH - 5
Spanish Lang - 5
Human Geography - 5

AP tests are ridiculous. Taking a test for 3hrs straight is crazy

I've never had a 3hr test in college. What kind of a mess.

My high school is one of the most competitive in the state. I am taking 6 AP classes as a Senior next year so my class rank won't drop.

My school is like that too. You need special permission from your counselor to take more than 3 in a year and although I had mostly A's so far at that time in HS I was only allowed to take 3.

Damn, I did the worse.

I can't complain about what I got. I didn't do my work the entire year and literally never studied for a single test and didn't study for the AP test either. So, whatever.

I still haven't received my scores.

AP classes are a waste of time, teachers overwork you and when you get to college you're just like WTF this is not even hard. I think they are good because they help you increase your GPA but in reality they are just a waste of time.

Oh? My previous year's AP scores are saving me thousands of dollars this year because I get to exempt two classes in college. I'm still waiting for this year's scores to be sent to my home to see if I can exempt another class. Also, they aren't a waste of time if you like to learn.
