[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for sharing.  It looks like 48% "failed" the World History AP exam.  What does that exactly mean?  They just can't take the college credit?  Do top tier colleges only look at 5s?  [/quote]

Oxford & Cambridge only want 5 ‘s , but that is to meet the standard to be called in for an Interview ( to the make that cut in the application process) not for credit

In USA most science and math majors can only receive waiver of entry level class for a score of 5 ( say AP Physics or BC Calc ), but for a History or English course you can place out with a 4

I think roughly 1-2 percent of AP exam takers score a 5 . There are about 11 percent 4’s ( don’t know this year’s stats ) and bulk of scores are 3 [/quote]

Just saw my kid's scores and looks like he will arrive on campus with 21 credits towards graduation from his AP scores.  He also earned 6 college credits in HS that should transfer for credit.  So graduation in 3 years is very doable (saving parents $80k!).  [/quote]

That'a fantastic. Congratulations to them, and your bank account! [/quote]
