Karnage Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 What did you all get on your AP calculus exams? I got a 5 on BC and 5 on AB subscore. You just gotta love calculus eh? Hard studying pays off for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt grime Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Not all people in the world know what AP calc is, nor took the exam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL.Luke Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I took the BC and got a 3, 3 subscore although I didn't take the course so I wasn't used to doing everything in a short time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I taught myself calc in 2 weeks and got a 5 on the BC exam. Not to brag or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm from the Uk and have no idea what AP calculus is or what how the grading system works. Anyone care to explain it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL.Luke Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 from what I understand of the UK's education system the AP test is equivalent to one of your A levels. essentially its a test that says that you've learned everything that would be taught in a freshman college course on the subject and that you should recieve a college credit for having passed the test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timo Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 While we´re on tranlating the initial post: What´s 5, BC and AB subscore? EDIT: Ty@Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL.Luke Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 the tests are scored 1-5 with 5 being the highest score alot of colleges will accept a 3 however the upper tend to want a 4 in order to give credit. There are two ap calculus tests The AB covers Calc 1 (although it tends to cover the beginning of calc 2 aswell) The BC test covers all of first year calculus, although incase you do poorly on the parts of the test that would be in calc 2 they also give you a score based on the material covered in calc 1, that way you can still get college credit for calc 1 if not both.

Karnage Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 Basically, AP exams are difficult courses, equivalent of college level courses in college (maybe first-year or second-year), that are taken in high school. THe gist of it is that if you do well, like a 4 or a 5 on exams, the scores may exempt you from the courses taken in college. depending on the college you choose. Thus doing so, it will save you tons of money and some college credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
