AP Cal AB score

I got a 4. I am so embarrassed with it, so upset now. Now I recognize how stupid I am in maths. Just want to kill myself.

How did you guys do ?

I didn\\\'t take it. Did silly mistakes cause you that 4?

It's just a 4 man, not the end of the world. It's still a very respectable score.

My friend got a 5 but he was really expecting a 4.

Two girls who got 5 in my class were the same. They did not expect but they ended up with 5 while I ended up with a 4.

4 will not help me get into my dream schools.

Is Calc AB difficult?

I had a 96 in my Pre-Calc class, if that helps?

Not bad. 96 is fine. You will do fine but AP exam is unpredictable.

I thought that AP tests had no pull on college admissions? Other than National AP scholar award?

4 is a wonderful score. Be happy you received a 4. score of 4 counts towards the AP awards (see the AP website).

I got a 5, but I was expecting a 4. 4 is still perfectly respectable; in my case, I just wanted the 5 because I didn't want my brother to beat me in math, a subject at which I have always been better.

The FR is SOOO predictable, especially the AB one. I'm pretty sure most #6s deal with implicit differentiation/slope fields. You'll be fine.

I was expecting a 5 (I more than aced all the practice's)... got a 4. And I'm good at math.

Oh well... I still placed out of Calc I with the online placement test for my college.
