No no, AP scores aren't regular grades. I know what I got for school two months ago when school ended. AP classes are special, advanced classes that are college level. At the end there is an AP test where everyone gets the same or roughly same test around the world. Also, congrats VGL and Noyyau!

When did you get out of school, Caterpillar?

Also you must be from the West Coast too .

 

[VGL]

No CK is from Alabama which is in the Good Ol South CK, do you speak in a southern accent? Also, do you say howday all a lot?

 

[CaterpillarKing]

I do not speak in a Southern accent, I refuse to and howdy is Texan, so ask DKVM

we get out of school around the middle to end of May

At my school we get out of school on June 3rd if we don't go over the allotted amount of snow days we can have per year. If we go over we have more days of school after that that is the same amount of days we went over our limit.

It seems that I got a 3 for AP Physics, a 4 for AP Lit and a 5 for APUSH. Yay. Still, kind of disappointed with my score for AP Physics.

And I already mentioned that I got out on June 29th.

I got a 3 on my AP Chem exam, which is a little disappointing but I am content. I did get a 5 on my APUSH exam though

United States History | 4
European History | 4
English Language & Composition | 4
English Literature & Composition | 5
Biology | 4
Earth & Environmental Science | 4
World History | 4
Psychology | 4
US Government & Politics | 3

These were my AP scores throughout high school for the record. US History should have been a 5, I was so confident in it that I didn't even study for the exam and walked in blind. US Gov & Politics was different; I didn't realize I had an exam that morning, and showed up late to the party.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

at least gov was a 3

 

[Tycho]

You have no idea how angry I was when I saw that. I was sure that Biology and Environmental/Earth were going to be threes, so I got a 4s on the ones I didn't care about and pissed about on, and a 3 on the one I cared about.

All I seem to do anymore is complain about weather but it was 86F today at 96% humidity and I died.

For the non-Americans that's 30C at 96% humidity.

 

[Manuss]

I don't understand your scores. Here 3 and 4 is "You haven't studied at all, you suck."

 

[Noyyau]

I don't understand your scores. Here 3 and 4 is "You haven't studied at all, you suck."

I guess the americans grade on a scale 1-5, while we in Italy grade 1-10.

 

[Tycho]

AP scores run like this:

1 - Lol, thanks for trying, you failed utterly.
2 - Nice try, but you don't quite grasp it.
3 - You passed! Congratulations! This score may not be accepted by most colleges!
4 - Yessssss, this is good, you have mastered this pretty well, but still fall short. This is typically a grade that you would want to get college credit at most institutions.
5 - You have mastered the course utterly. You are a god. This is the best score that you can recieve for an AP exam.

I had IB, which is basically the same but with a condescending English accent.

I got a 3 in Japanese because we received the wrong grade level of test and nobody answered a single question right.

I got straight 4s elsewhere and a 5 in math.

 

[Manuss]

How beautiful. I got 5 in maths too! The problem is, five isn't enough here, and I have to study all summer for an exam at the end of August.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Again, AP isn't regular. Regular grades run from 0-100. AP scores have no bearing on regular school scores. If someone else who knows this could explain this in more detail, I'm kind of busy in Germany right now

That last episode of season 5 was such a load of tripe. So much for them having no cavalry, I guess.
