don't worry about AP tests, just make sure you do well on your placement tests. they are more important

see, AP tests wouldnt be a problem if you werent in/dont want to be in AP classes.
so stop taking AP classes if you dont like it.

Dude I'm taking Stats, BC Calc, and Physics C: Mechanics. The thing about it is that I was only in my classes about half the time.

I have to take the AP Statistics test on tuesday, I'm gonna fail it. Is it true that if you get a 2 or lower it shows up as an F on your college transcript? That's what some kid told me but I'm not sure. I thought that if you got a 3 you got college creds but if you got below 3 that nothing happened?

Below a 2 doesnt count as an F on your college transcript. Ask me how I know? My college didnt accept AP credit, but my high school made me take them, so I wrote in my name and went to sleep. Got a nice 3 hr nap.

The test that I'm worried about is the Physics C mechanics. The pass rate for the nation last year for a 3 or higher was like in the 40% range. ITS SOOO hard.

No, it's actually not very hard.
In many districts, teachers get bonuses for the number of kids that pass the test- so teachers encourage students who are clearly not prepared to take it to do so, hoping that a couple will pass.
Physics C covers the same concepts that are in B test, but with more difficult math. If you can do very basic integrals and derivatives you'll be fine.

Our school doesn't offer physics C, just B, which kind of sucks. I thought they graded the test against the whole country, like maybe the top 15% got 5's, the next 15% got 4's, etc. Maybe not?

I got all 2's and a 1 on my AP tests. All my friends got 2's as well. Then when I got to college everyone I knew got 4's and 5's on everything. I guess I had a really shitty high school.

i would have taken the ap us gov't test, but our teacher sits there in class going off on tangents and doesn't really teach the material. that class makes for good debates though
