So what is the damage of my fellow high school friends? What exams are you taking this time around and how do you feel about them? Cramming for the last minute? Totally prepared? Discuss.

I myself, in my senior year, will be taking a ball-busting seven exams!
1)Government - I'm feeling the four to five range if I study. I can get a 3 right now.
2)Spanish - I'm screwed. I took the class a semester late and only hope for a scrape of a pass on how well I do on the writings.
3)Calculus BC - I got a 99/108 raw on my teacher's midterm. So my hope is a perfect score.
4)Biology - If I review cells and the like, I may get a four.
5)Chemistry - I need to finish four chapters and then I'll be golden. Hoping for a five
6)Physics C: Mechanics - Mechanics was my only good part in Physics B, so after a little review, I feel I can five this exam even though the class isn't taught at my school.
7)Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism - Also not offered, but I feel if I read my review book fast enough, I'll get a four or five.

So, now that I built a healthy momentum on the topic, let's see what other people are worrying about.

APs were last week here in Puerto Rico. I don't think I did too badly

1) English: Hahahaha. This test was a fucking joke. It was mainly sentence structure and poetry, middle school stuff, really. An easy 5

2) Spanish: This was a bit bumpy, as most of it was poetry and ambiguous literature analysis. I especially despise the latter, as there is potentially more than one valid answer, but only one is counted as correct by the machine, leading to massive headaches. I'm expecting a 4.

3) Precalc: OW OW OW OW. It was all fine until the open exercises, which were all on stuff we never managed to cover (matrices, conic sections). I'm probably ending up with a high 3 (as I completely bombed all 3 open problems), or if I'm reeeeeally luck, a low 4.

Yeah, I have six this year.

Government - Easy. Probably a 5. I've known this for years.
Comparative Government - Hard. But they ask really general questions so if I study well it will be a 5.
English - ew. I feel I have a fairly good grasp of the English language and people consistently say I understand what I read very well, and yet on practice multiple choice sections I've scored under 50%. No clue. Maybe a 4 if I write strong essays.
Calc BC - Easy 5. Very easy.
Physics C: Mech - Easy 5. Very easy.
Physics C: E&M - Easy 5. Kinda easy.

Arrogance? You bet. But after APUSH last year and WHAP the year before, there's nothing left to scare me.

Grats, SWR, on actually taking 4 science APs. I admire that. Personally I could never have taken AP Bio; I'm not interested in things that breathe.

Shiny new layout!
----------------------------------------------------

You people are crazy, I'm only taking five

1) Government: Tenative... I really dont know what to expect, but hoping for at least a 4
2) Calc BC: 5, in my sleep
3) Comp Sci AB: 5, while being partially conscious
4) German: A solid 3. A 4 if I'm lucky. The listening section is really going to kill me if I'm not careful.
5) English Lit: WHEEEEEEEEEEEE lets pray for a 4.



English and Government have never been my strong suit.

My last AP Exams were two years ago, and I didn't get anything higher than a 4 on any of them.

You guys make me feel stupid

I only passed one AP test that I had, and that was with a 3 on World History.

I completely failed AP Calc and Bio.

I just hope that I can at least pass one of the AP exams I will take in two or three years. It's very hard based on what I heard from friends who have taken it .

I want the money I get for passing it , but still pass it.

Thanks. I plan to double major in Physics and Chemistry and minor in math. Or get a Ph.D in Physics.
Knowing me, I'll drift to something in mechanical or software engineering though. But yeah, I'm a total science geek and proud of it.

Never had to do them.

Why?

School didn't have such a curriculum.

I sure hope you guys actually use all this knowledge in your lives...that's all I'll say.

We won't... We just want to get out of college quicker.

Don't go or drop out and get jobs like me. :\

Hey, I'm in the field I said I wanted to be in and I don't have a complete degree...yet.
