Looking at the Chemistry, Environmental, U.S History, Euro, and Spanish Lit are very low. I'm taking AP Chemistry next year, and I was hoping for a 4, but now I think I'm going to get a 3 lol. I'm very surprised at the Environmental data so far. Especially the percentage of 5's. Of all the people on here say how easy it is, and how it is a joke class, easy 5... think again, people who've said that should re-think their opinions on that class lol. That test looks very challenging, and many people of CC take that class for granted and should realize it's not easy at all.

Looking at those percentages I am a bit more hopeful on my own Physics scores. Although numbers can be misleading FantasyVesperia - looking at the data it seems statistically that Physics C is the easiest AP to score a 5 on, and Environmental Science the hardest. However, 'smarter' people in general tend to take AP Physics C so the %'s aren't that revealing of the rigor of the course or the exam itself.

I never have taken Environmental Science - but from what I've taken from the general consensus of people I know it is definitely less rigorous and dare I say easier than the pure sciences - Bio , physics, and chem. That being said, I do admit most people who take end up with a 4.

Do we know about AP English Lit or Lang?

Don't be intimidated by the percentages of 5's and 4's; many students take those exams who really shouldn't be. At least half of my AP Chemistry class for example did poorly throughout the year, getting 60's and 70's on the test. You will get a great score if you put in the work.

You have to look at the percentages in the reality of it all. THOUSANDS of kids take these tests. CC makes up about 40-70 each test. so really our fives on for example Enviro is like 3% compared to the other people who take APs and do nothing in them

I definitely contributed to the 5's for APUSH Unfortunately, I'm not certain for Chemistry yet, but I'm feeling pretty confident.

FantasyVesperia

It's just weird, Maybe people take AP Environmental Science step into the classroom and not really take the class seriously and aren't really prepared for the test. I also with Gridvvk about the AP Physics C exam, I would thought that there would be less fives.

Do y'all think that perhaps scores by phone will be ready before July 1st (by phone of course) like they were not last year, but both years before that?

As for Environmental Science exam- a lot of people take it because it is an easy class and an easy exam. I will say that although I took my class seriously, my class was horrendously badly behaved, so we didn't do anything all year except get yelled at. Anyways, I still thought the exam was easy and knew the answers, even though most of my class probably didn't. It also has a really low curve compared to say Physics C, which I know on our mock exam (released test) you only had to get 30% to pass.

I didn't pay attention much in my physics c class purely because it was senior year, and I don't like things to spin (which seems to be 60% of the class). Anyways, I would get C's in the class which I never get, which also contributed to me caring less, but I received a solid 4 on our practice exam. I did have a good teacher though who had his grading system set up so that if you got an A- you'd get a 5, B- a 4 etc. He apparently expected me to get a 4 because I didn't do homework or pay attention, but still did well for not doing anything. Sadly for my school he was promoted to do some national thing for the AP physics program- he was already the lead teacher in our state and grader etc.

Anyone know about Calc BC, French, and Gov't distributions come out? I saw above that English comes out by Tuesday.

Also, quick question. I know that when I've received my score reports in previous years, it has ALL my scores from every year on it. So, when I elected to send the score report to my college, will they get ALL my scores from EVERY year? I need them to get ALL of them before orientation because I am going to ultimately use 8 of my exams to get credit since I'm double majoring with a minor (all sadly with zero crossover classes) and want to graduate in 4 years.

Yes, they will get ALL your scores from EVERY year (that you took an AP exam).
