What AP tests are you taking right now? I just took the AP European History test today, and I found out that AP tests are inherently evil.


Comments? Questions?
Well, too bad. The College Board is an evil entity which uses several 'false' questions that aren't in a majority of the textbooks. Case in mind: Question 15 on the European History multiple choice test: Which of the following did the Slavophiles accomplish in Russia? Who were the Slavophiles? They sure aren't in my textbook!

Even though you're not supposed to discuss the test, the European History test's DBQ was: Analyze different opinions regarding European unification, the EU, and the EEC from 1949-1989.

Well, I've taken 4 AP tests, but I'm in college, so I'm not really taking any now.

I don't have to worry yet, but I may take Computer Science...

(When do you get these, anyway?)

They usually come after you apply for AP courses but before the actual school year is out. Also, they tend to last a good 3+ hours each.

I took the AP European History test today. What a bitch. =(

The DBQ was easy. The 2 FRQ's were ridiculously hard for me.

AND OMG, THAT QUESTION ON THE SLAVOPHILES. ITS NOT IN MY TEXTBOOK EITHER. That was retarded. The only one I left blank. =(

Slavophiles sounds like people in favor of Slavic culture, as opposed to Western European influence on Russia. But yeah, if you want to do well on AP tests, you usually have to get their AP Test preparation manuals (they're very good, actually). Kind of a scam if you ask me, since it's nearly impossible to be sure you have all your bases covered unless you buy these manuals - from the same company that writes the tests.

4 years ago, I took the Calculus BC (got a 5), took Chemistry (got a 4), and took French Language (got a 2). I'd like to note that the higher scores match classes where I was introduced to some form of AP Test prep questions, and for the Calc BC my teacher bought us all the manuals and solution books. How nice of him . Got me out of 8 credits (2 semesters) of college calculus.

I took A.P. U.S. History last year ... got a 4.

This year I'm killing myself with four APs. I've already taken A.P. French Language, which was, luckily, quite easy. But I still have Chemistry, Government, and Comparative Government to go through. I'm taking the latter because I get to take it for free with the Government test. How nice of them.

In my junior year, I took AP U.S. History, got a 3
In my senior year, I took AP Calculus (4 on C, 5 on AB subset), AP Government (3), and AP Physics (5).
Only Calc and Physics got me credit, and most of it was useless. However, the post-secondary English course I took got me out of an English class here. Huzzah!

I took the English Language AP test last year, but only got a 3, so I wasn't exempt from Expository Writing in college . Ah well, Expos wasn't too hard anyway, and my professor made the class interesting. But anyway about the AP test, they prepared me in AP Language and Composition for the test throughout senior year of high school, and overall in the class, I did better on writing essays than the reading passages. But when I took the real exam, I guess I got nervous and really messed up my essays because they were shit, and I knew it, so I ended up doing better with the reading passages.
