Ick. I knew I shouldn’t have called in for my AP scores by phone at 11pm last night. That was not the best way to end a rather nice day.

AP Biology: 4 - Not bad. Actually, I was rather impressed seeing as how I guessed on a lot of the MC and had no clue about two of the FRQs. I’m not too phased that I got a 4 instead of a 5 because I really didn’t study all that much for it. I get no credit from MIT either way, so this was more of a “how much did I learn this year without last-minute cramming”.

AP CompSci A: 5 - Total ego boost. I had so much fun taking this test - it was the only one I actually felt focused enough to do well on and was confident in my answers, so I’m glad my final score reflected on how much I really enjoy the subject!

AP English Literature: 5 - People over at CC said that only about 5-10% of the students who take this test actually get a 5 on it. I was rather surprised - to me, the two English exams (Lang/Lit) are the easiest of all the AP exams. I was really proud of my essays, although the second one was really hard to respond to. I’m fairly sure my very in-depth response to question #3 (I used the novel Moderato Cantabile, which I had actually read in French for French Lit prep, but no one needs to know that) was what really secured my 5. I’m happy there.

AP French Literature: 4 - didn’t really study for this class, didn’t really want to take this exam, but hey, a 4 is pretty good! I know exactly what happened too - my MC sucked. My essays I knew were fairly good - the poem and novels they asked us to respond to were some of my favourites, so I wrote quite a bit. But I do know that my MC was really bad because there were some questions with terminology I didn’t even know the English equivalents of, haha.

AP US Government & Politics: 2 - after that string of 5’s and 4’s, I was hit with this bomb. I was seriously shocked into submission. I cannot imagine what could’ve happened to cause this. With the information that Mr. Tabor has given us, there is NO reason why I couldn’t have at least PASSED this test. Sure, the FRQs were really iffy, but I know I at least answered two of the four fairly well (especially the one on economics, haha). I felt really confident on my MC questions too, so I guess that was false hope. Sigh. One of the ONLY tests I could have gotten credit for, and I land myself a 2. There is just something about life that isn’t fair.

My AP Physics C and AP Macroeconomics scores aren’t out yet, since I took late-late testing for those. I’m expecting a 2 on Physics C and a 5 on Economics, but who knows. After that 2 on Government I’m not sure how good my prediction skills are anymore.
