No I totally agree, the content was super easy. I meant vicious by the fact that I thought my hand was going to fall off after the essays. I write small and I wrote 8 full pages. I guess I should have clarified what I meant.

people at my school say that US is easier than Euro.
i rock at US history though, and i actually find it interesting.
i'm hoping its not going to be that much of a burden to me next year, after all its junior year..

so glad i'm done with those; HOWEVER, I highly recommend that you take them very seriously for you are able to gain credits in college that will allow you to bypass requirements. I know psych and some english classes here at uvm are tough and i don't have to take them because of my AP credits, so you can take classes you actually care about.

I'm taking Calc AB and English Comp. Happily I didn't have to take the Gov test today because my college doesn't accept the credit. I'll be so glad when calc's done though.

can someone explain the point of high school AP classes? i went to 3 different high schools... the last one didn't even have grades... and i got into UVM




i guess if you're going for an Ivy League there might be some value in it

its for college credit, so you take the class during high school so you don't have to take it in college, where it tends to be a lot harder

wow, i honestly havent even heard of half these classes in high school that you guys are taking ap classes for. my school only offers calc ab, spanish, french, and euro history. i took calc on wednesday and didnt think it was that bad until the non calculator free response questions. out of the three of them i filled in one slope field, and then wrote a paragraph about how boring particles are moving along a line and instead should be greyhounds racing or donuts being rolled.

I had the AP euro exam today, I ended up not showing up and just enjoyed the nice weather, burned a spliff.  Where I'm going next year doen't even take them, and I literally know dick all about European history, stupidest course ever.  Canadian History and American History are both way better, I officially hate French people.

for calc AB, i thought it was pretty easy.  i was really scared, but the multiple choice seemed so easy.  free response sucked because im not too good with Ln and e but other than that it wasnt horrible.  so much easier than i thought itd be.  i have psych on tuesday and thats gonna be a joke, so easy

ha, you could actually hear my whole class go "what?!" when read the DBQ for euro. I also loved that 1 mult. choice question that asked about Sweden in the 1930s. Seemed to come out of nowhere.

I thought Statistics was easy.  I thought I might get a 3 cause I never studied at all cause I'm graduating this year so it doesn't matter at all.  But I think I probably got a 4 on it.

Haha my thoughts exactly. I destroyed the multiple choice section, especially when I could use my calculator. But when the free response came it was game over for me.

But on a side note AP English was just as gay as I thought it would be. I can write about almost anything but force me to write about shit I don't care about and you're getting a terrible essay from me.

i thought that the AP US History wasnt that hard. my teacher prepared us with a ton of essays. we had to do one on every test in like 20 minutes. i think i nailed those. there were a few gay multiple choice questions tho. good thing you can just not answer 10 haha. i was only worried about the multiple choice going in tho and thought i did pretty well.

that was all about the industrial revolution and the different inventions made to increase production in the south which then shipped all the raw materials to the north and therefore increased the rate of production of the newly growing industry in the north.

my school got an extension on the AP Euro test. anyone know if the DBQ's or free response questions are the same for both deadlines? if anyone remembers the exact topics for each, could you let me know what they are?
