In my schools a 4 and 5 are pretty common, because our course is very hard.
That's why I said if the course is hard/teacher is good, then you should be fine.

And for those of you taking classes you're predicting a 1 for, why even bother taking the test?

Probably because they're school might require them to take the AP exams or their counties pay for the exams.

Seriously? Wow, my school couldn't care less if you take the exam. The teachers get a little offended if you don't, but that's all...
