[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone get the Physics C results yet??[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Yes, my daughter got 4's on both sections.  I thought she really knew the material and she wants to study engineering or physics at a top college.  Now I'm not sure what do advise her to do with these results. 
She has a 790 math SAT.

How did your kid and/or classmates do?   I haven't heard from any other kids my daughter knows. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]She got a 790 math and 4s on Phys C and you are somehow projecting that means she’s a failure and shouldn’t study engineering or physics? You’re nuts. Your daughter is great at math and physics. Support her. [/quote]

Agree. My kid got a 2 on the AP test in the field he wants to go into and we're like--it's just one test on one day, it doesn't mean that much, you can totally study this in college!

2nd parent above is terrible if their kid actually wants to study engineering or physics, has those scores, and they aren't being totally supportive. WTF.[/quote]

WTF: this parent is being totally supportive but just not sure how to approach college apps and whther to submit 4s...jeez!!![/quote]

But why is it even a question, its the hardest AP test with the lowest pass rate. You don't have to submit scores, but why would you not submit a 4 on the hardest AP test? Its not one of the top AP tests and only 8 percent of people who take it get a 5. [/quote]

No.

You are talking about Physics 1. Physics C has a far higher pass rate, and a shockingly low %score required to pass. Is Physics C eaiser than Physics 1? Hmm, maybe. It shows how silly AP system is.

No, it's because AP physics C is generally only taken by very top students.  AP physics 1 is taken by all-comers.  
At our private high school none of the strong STEM students even take physics 1.  It's a course only taken by humanities kids.
