He’s so proud - over the moon. So are we! It was a surprise particularly due to his age. |
My 9th grader got a 3 and I’m super proud of it! |
DS (10th): 5 Calc BC |
Well, my kid - who rarely studied outside the classroom received 5 4s and 1 5 (Calculus AB) on his APs this year - MCPS school - not a magnet. I give LOTS of credit to his teachers. |
I’m depressed reading this thread. My kid a junior scored 3 BC (4 AB subsection), 4 Lang, 4 Psychology and 3 in History and Stats. |
Omg please don’t be! There’s a lot of us regulars out there. My senior: 5 AP lang (but we didn’t doubt this - she’s an amazing writer) 4 AP 2D Art 3 AP Psych 2 AP Bio My freshman: 3 APUSH This forum is skewed to the strivers/gifted kids. |
Those are ALL passing grades and the 4's are very good. |
Thanks! Bio is tough and if she’s a STEM major having had this in HS will be a big advantage in college. |
My kid is regular, too, and I'm pretty proud of the two 4's, one 3 and one 2 she received. Ok, we were hoping the 2 would be higher as DD did extremely well in the class, but she unfortunately just got one FRQ she struggled a lot with and she's not a great test taker; her strength is applied knowledge/papers/projects. Interestingly, almost all of her friends got their lowest score on the exam for whichever science class they were taking. Makes me wonder if the science department at the HS isn't "teaching to the test" for whatever reason. While I'd have loved for DD to get some college credit out of it, I know she learned a lot so I'm not all that concerned that it didn't translate to one exam. |
I'll take a 4 or 5 score any day of the week! |
My kid got fives and a four this year as a senior but was all threes and fours before this year (and only took AB as senior - not BC as a junior!). Also my DC never took 5 APs in one year! That’s a ton. |
Most of those grades are absolutely fine. A 2 however, is not a passing grade. |
She is 100% NOT a STEM kid. Which is why think why she tanked the bio. 😂 She’ll do fine either way. All of our kids will! |
Anyone else's kid still waiting for an AP Comp Gov score? |
AP Physics is not the hardest AP test. It’s just one that any student can take because it’s algebra based so more unqualified students take it.
Physics C and BC calculus are a more self-selecting group so more pass it. Either way, I’m planning have my kid submit 4’s and 5’s to all schools, even Ivies. Against Sarah H’s advice. |
