People seriously got up at 4:30 for this? Relax.[/quote]

I got up at 2am on the West Coast. For us it is very strongly linked to applications to the UK where the AP result is taken as the equivalent of an A level. Without them, no offers.[/quote]

Curious, is a 3 viewed as bad or good?[/quote]

Its a C grade.
For the colleges and courses my kids are applying to, they need multiple 5's in the relevant subjects.
So no a 3 is not "good" as such.[/quote]

To be more clear, it is a projection that your kid likely would have gotten a C in the course in college (not high school), meaning they passed the college level course. That is a good thing. If you took the course as a high school sophomore and would have passed it had you taken it in college, that's actually really great. Of course, everyone wants a 5, but a 3 means you are prepared for college. Most schools won't let you opt out of their own intro courses with a 3 though, because you have more to learn and can likely do much better once you are a bit more mature and actually in college.[/quote]
