Fa la la la la, la la la la.

It's May. Do you know what that means?


It's AP HELL TIME!

Today it's AP US History, one of the most demented sections of the AP juggernaut, mostly due to the fact that you have to memorize every thing that ever happened to the US just to get a chance of a decent grade.

I got a 3 on that without studying. I also got a 3 on calculus despite the fact that I go a zero in the class and I got a 5 on CS2 despite the fact that I never did a single assignment. Only people who aren't actually smart stress out over tests.

Actually, you're quite right. The studying I crammed in last night (which was merely refreshing my brain for what I already knew) only helped me on two questions or so I wouldn't have known otherwise.

Not so sure I did so well on essay #2, though.

It so happens that I live in northern alberta and the finals here are extremely easy. On the gr.9 goverment exam, it was all trigonometry. I had a head ache that day, And I still got a 98% on my math. It was almost all trigonometry.You would have had to be a mathematical moron to have got below 65% on it. They should make them harder so there is a little bit of a chalenge. I was sort of disapointed.

Try taking an AP finnal where the national average is an F.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem.

From what I've heard all of them. @Banjo a 5 on an AP test is not an A. Depending on the test it is about a 50%. That is in the math courses.

You'll find that "acing" and "100%" are very different concepts as you get older.

Yes, but this year the test was easy. I mean, seriously. I only didn't know like two questions.

Edit: And, sigh, tomorrow is the AP English Lang & Comp exam, which should be harder than the others. Also, I've confirmed with several sources that a 5 on an AP test is not an F in real life.

No, a 5 is definitely not an F, seeing how it's the highest possible score.

Try telling that to a guy who's gotten no higher than a "4" on every practice essay in class.

And, yes, in case you were wondering, I mean myself.

Although it does indeed apply to Brian Kendall as well.
