[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10th grader got a 5 on APHUG.

Only 11.6% got a 5 and it had the highest % of students with a 1 (which was also true last year). I’m very proud of him, and I would never say this if this forum weren’t anonymous, but I had been very worried because he popped out of the room after 15 minutes and announced he was done with the first question and it was “really easy.” I know this sounds like a humble brag, but I do wonder if the score distribution is the result of APHUG being common for younger students to take and/or more kids of varying abilities take because it sounds easy?

This subject matter is my kid’s strength, and, fwiw, I don’t think he’ll even bother taking AP Calculus, but I just find this fascinating. [/quote]

I don’t even know which class this is! Geography? Anyway is great about your son! Did he like the class?[/quote]

Yes -- Human Geography.  He really enjoyed the class, but he's the kind of kid who reads political history for fun.  [/quote]

Congrats on a good score, but given the fact that no top college gives any credit or placement whatsoever for AP Human Geography because it is not considered a real or legitimate core academic subject, why did your kid bother to take and pay for a useless test?

Top colleges only award placement o credit for scores of 5 in about half of the AP tests that are offered. People should stop paying College Board to take useless tests like Psychology, Computer Science Principles, Physics 1 (only Physics C matters to top colleges), Comparative Govt, etc. Please take a look at the college's web site to see what exams credit is given for before throwing your money away. And at the top privates, only a score of 5 matters; public colleges will give credit for scores of 3 and 4 because they are happy to process students to graduate faster as their classes are oversubscribed to begin with.[/quote]
