I should probably clarify on my English. I haven't posted on this thread since I got the phone call. I knew I was doomed for AP Euro (horrible teacher, disappeared for weeks at a time, I had to miss the class three weeks before the exam because of state testing...), I was on the fence (2-3) for APUSH (unfortunately, I fell on the wrong side), and I had AP English Language down. I was SUPER shocked when I heard I got a 2 in AP Lang, but then I got my paper report (the first week of August...eff you Kentucky) to find the dreaded "Free Response section projected from multiple choice." -____-

COLLEGE BOARD: Y U NO LOSE AP EURO RESPONSES INSTEAD?!

@David, my AP Psych teacher says he thinks it should be possible to get a 0 for that reason specifically. He says if you just Christmas tree the test and don't do the FRQs, then you deserve a 0. I knew I was going to fail World. (I got a 1.) But at least I put in some effort and at least I half-a$$ed the essays. There were some kids who after 5 mins just put their head down.

Did pretty mediocre in Computer Science today. Kinda bad since it's what I want to major in. Oh well.

I think you misunderstood. I DID the AP Lang essays, but College Board lost them. AP Lang was my strongest AP because of the essays. I told my teacher I got a 2 and she was shocked. She had placed me at a 4.

I DID the AP Euro essays; I answered all of the multiple choice questions (on all tests). However, the only thing I knew anything about was the DBQ (because we had a unit over her in AP Lang and had to read a whole bunch of stuff written by her and my infatuation with QE1). We had a terrible AP Euro teacher who had 57 ones, 27 twos, 2 threes (who both admit they got EXTREMELY lucky) and 1 five (a student who moved into the school during the last quarter).

I bull-crapped my AP Euro FRQs.

No, I was saying that because you were talking about how you got the same score as someone who slept through AP World.

Oh, okay. Sorry. EYE misunderstood. :P
.
I see now, and I agree. It's not fair to those who actually attempt to do it

(That's my way of emphasizing I, because it's to be capitalized anyway).

Should I retake the tests?

Senior Year: AP Micro and AP calc BC
Junior Year: 2 on English Lang and 2 on APWH (this subject was new to our school)
Sophomore Year: 2 on APUSH

Should I retake the ones I failed? I really tried hard on English Lang. I guess it didn't pay off. I'm so scared for college. I'm so disappointed.

Also, should I take the two AP classes senior year? I'm kind of scared, since I did fail ALL my ap tests.
