For those who took AP exams (or those who have any comming up, as there are still late ones next week), tell us what you took, and what you expect to get. Then, if you feel comfortable, tell us how you did in July when you get your actual results.
My predictions:
AP European History - 3
AP US History - 4
AP Government - 4
AP English (Lit and Comp (Or maybe it was Lang and Comp, forgotten which one)) - 5
For those outside the US: AP exams are "Advanced Placement" exams you take after completing the coursework in a college level course offered for supposedly bright students. However, few AP classes actually teach to the test, even though they are supposed to. And many who take the class do not belong. It functions to prove your intellectual worth during college applications, and can give you some credit if you go to a crappy enough school. Exams are scaled out of 5. For most, 3 or above is a pass. For all English exams, 4 or above is a pass.
