What the hell is AP?
I have a few history exams too, Tuesday= Europe & The German Question, I gotta read a few books on Hitler et al to pwn the subject though.
Next week= Early Modern England (thats the bit just after middle ages, civil war etc) & Britain since 1945...

AP is advanced placement. they are courses you take in high school that are supposed to be at college level. You pay to take an AP exam, and if you get a high enough score, you get college credits for that course.

I ttok the AP English Literature Thursday as well, and I felt good about it. I dominated the essays, although #2 was a bit more difficult (question asked to analyze the three characters depicted and explain the relationship among them.) The #1 compare and contrast the two poems was easy, and the open-ended one should always be easy, since you can pretty much pick a literary piece that you know front and back.
I am taking AP Government next Wednesday, and I must say that I will fail with flying colors. I score in the low to mid 90's on our regular course AP Gov tests, but we took two practice AP exams, and I scored 45% on both of them, which means that everything she has taught us is not going to be on the AP Exam. Last year, only two people made a three, and the rest made ones or twos.
We also have to stay at school after our exams, but I check out, because my brain is always fried after taking one of those.

I'm definately not "in the mood" to do all that work my senior year. Plus, i'm taking organic chem too so that's 1 semester on top of the regular physics.

[quote="Garry Coleman":9740d]yeah, i think i did pretty well on the DBQ about the poor. The other essays, I did #3 (about the rise of dictators) and #6(discuss the affect that the Industrial Revolution had on religion and culture[something like that]). I did so poorly on the mult choice, i didnt have the will power to 'try' on my last essay. For half the time I just drew a diagram of the people's names and where they were sitting int he test room biggrin: . I thought the AP US history last year was ALOT easier for some reason. Ah, Fuck AP tests...i don't have to take a final now--that's the important thing, not stupid college credit happy: .[/quote:9740d]
I did the same essays as you. #6 was the effect of the scientific revolution on religion and philosophy. I dunno how I did. I honestly dont care as long as I pass and our teacher has a 95% student passing rate over his career so I hope I'm ok.

We didnt have AP physics in our school this year, just "advanced" physics which is THE SAME COURSE!... except for like one chapter we dont do. Its tough, but I've enjoyed it. You learn alot of useful information in it unlike lots of other classes.

niiice. I doubt i'll pass though. The whole year all I did was fool around but only did the required amount of work. If we had terms, i'd get them from someone else...that kind of thing. I got 99% in the class every marking period, it's just that i never had a real die-hard interest in Euro history. Let's hope next year's Gov't and Politics gets better
