I took the AP US exam today, it went pretty well I thought, actually. The multiple choice questions especially were much easier than those on the tests that my teacher gave.

I'm taking AP Euro next year as long as there's enough students to fill the class, how was that test?

We only had 1 AP class when I was in high school, and it was freakin calculus.  Only 4 people took the exam and nobody passed.  :bolt:

multiple choice and DBQ were SUPER easy, but the FRQs were hard as mess.....

False, cake IS bread

The food shortages caused an uprise in the cities when the bread prices rose A WHOOOLE lot. This was the eventual cause to the French Revolution :)

Motherland, I took the Euro exam yesterday. The multiple choice section was harder than the practice tests found in Barron's guide, but easier than the test found in Princeton's. The DBQ was impossibly easy, and I felt the FRQ's were pretty easy to address, as there were topic options in both sets of 3 that only required a general knowledge of their subjects.

Not to pick on you, but it's no secret the AP exam has an essay component.  Why didn't you practice them on yourself?  Why place your fate in the hands of another human being (your teacher)?

Or perhaps you did prepare on your own, because you were familiar with the test from last year.  In that case, ask your coasting classmates the same question when they gripe  :P

Advanced Placement. If you pass the official exam at the end of the year you'll get college credit for the high school class. Most colleges will recognize you if you score a 3 or better on a 0-5 scale. Also, your highshool grade point gets boosted because A=5, B=4,C=3, etc.

My junior year I took AP US history (3) and AP English (1) My senior year I took AP chemistry (1) and AP calculus (2). As seen above, The only one I passed was history and my ignorant school didn't take it  :bhead . Taking them did help prepare myself for college though

Exactly, perhaps If I didn't already know how to write good essays I would have practiced on my own.  I am also taking AP English Languahe which is basically a class in learning how to write a good argument and detect and analyze the ways other writers make their arguments.  I know how to write essays well but it does seem unfair for other students who have never had any real formal training on writing an essay not have any practice with their teacher.  You have to agree that practicing writing essays by yourself doesn't make you good at writing you need a good teacher to tell you what you didn't do and where you made mistakes.  Our teacher really should have made us write ONE essay after the entire school year don't you think.

Yep, only 2 different tests are given on any 1 testing day, as far as I know.
