Three 5s (BC, Gov & Spanish). One 4 (Lit). Adios, high school! |
That’s too bad because a higher score on a foreign language is super useful for placing out of college language requirements. But I am sure most sophomores aren’t ready. |
DS is a rising senior. Three 5’s on Chem, Calc BC and Worlds. And one 3 on AP Lang. He is happy, but I am not. I have a kid who genuinely dislikes reading and writing. It makes me sad. Oh well. |
2 4s and 2 5s for my late-sleeping rising senior. She’s thrilled. |
Public or private HS? |
Our non-DC public school has allowed students to skip spanish 4 and take ap spanish, but this year, they realized that a lot of kids who skip ahead in spanish are not ready for the ap exam so they have reserved their school policy. now, everyone has to take at least through spanish 4 to take ap spanish. my opinion is that a lot of the language aps are really difficult because native speakers will always have an advantage on the speaking component, so for a non-native speaker to take it early is not that helpful. |
Ap Micro/Macro and Stats were easy 5's, 4 on BC a little surprising (aced the class, maybe should've studied for the exam...), unfortunately only a 4 on Spanish lang which I think is the only one that would have offered any real advantage, sigh. |
Sad that your kid dislikes reading and writing? Or sad about the 3 in AP lang (with three 5's on really tough ap exams)? I am sad my kids don't like theater, art museums, history, hiking, or 80s music. They all like STEM and sports (watching and playing). I am not sad because they are their own people and do not need to follow my footsteps! |
Do schools/teachers see the scores too? |
Is this in the college board app, the "school profile"? |
All 5's for my rising senior, in Calc BC, World History, Lang, Chem, and Macro. NJ public high school. She also had a 5 last year in APUSH. She worked hard, and I'm very happy for her. |
yes very pleased with results! three 5's and a 4 |
At my kid’s HS, the immersion kids and a handful of native speakers take AP Spanish lang as sophomores (& AP Spanish lit as juniors). Predictably, the immersion kids do very well on the exam. I don’t know about the others. |
Yes, and kid's AP science teacher said months ago that she won't write letters of recommendations for kids who score below a 4. They definitely see them. That's how schools can also say: - teacher at our school has students with a higher than avg for our school district AP score; - avg ap score for school district is __ and average for our school is ___. |
Your kid's AP science teacher is terrible. I received a recommendation from a teacher where I scored a 3. I struggled with the material but ultimately got an A- in the class and had a great rapport with the teacher. |
