ap tests

I took the comp sci one. It was plenty tough! specially the one aboot redefining all the player classes using that one interface. I didn't quite understand that one...
i actually thought the comp sci was the easiest out of those four. might be because i took regular last year and then ap this year.
but physics and psych owned me

lucky... before this year, I knew NOTHING about computer programming...
blegh, I gotta take AP history next year...
I took the AP Lit and the AP Psychology tests. I got owned pretty hard on the Lit one. I thought the psychology was pretty easy up until the tail end of the multiple choice which got pretty hairy.
I took Music Theory. It made the ACT look like an Elementary School Entrance Exam. For the second sight-singing, I just sang "Rhythm-A-Ning" by Thelonious Monk.
AP Calc BC - Not too bad, the prep work (which i didn't do much of) was much much harder. Free response required some thinking, and I couldnt get the one min/max one for some reason.
AP Economics thursday! We finished the curriculum before the 3rd quarter ended, so i feel prepared for it.

I took AP Calc AB. Jesus, that was ridiculous.
Also did US Gov't and Politics and English Lit. and Comp. Those were pretty easy, but the Calculus free response... damn.

I took Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, and Euro History. Of course, that was in 1982, so I've had some time to recover. 
Me too. US History Friday, Chemistry today. US History was a cake... MC was pretty good, and the DBQ was pretty doable. The other two as well.
The Chemistry was just... bad.
I skipped 26 questions in the MC and did some of the free response... but occasionally I just fell asleep.
Tomorrow is AP English (Junior) and Friday is AP Latin Lit. Can't wait.
Oh man, I remember those. I took 4 of them in high school, three of them my senior year. I took Environmental, Calc AB, Physics and Biology. Good, good fun.
i took two my junior year (composition and us history) and four my senior year (calc ab, physics, microecon, and literature). got 5's on all but literature--got a 4 on that one. 
i find out my gre physics subject test tomorrow. it felt kind of like the ap physics multiple choice exam or the sat II physics exam, but with more advanced material and much more questions. (i think i skipped two questions on the ap phys exam, but i didn't answer 19 on the gre phys exam--which is probably a comparable achievement).
waiting for scores sucks!
edit: 920!

I went to an IB school, but we had the option of going to another school to take the APs as well, so you had your bases covered in case you went to a school that accepted one and not the other. Aced all 8 or whatever I took.
...then was told when I arrived to school that they aren't going to give credit for any IB tests, or AP tests if you didn't take the AP curriculum.
Awesome.
