Got a 4. Pretty disappointing. This was one of my best subjects in school and I got a 760 on the SAT II. This test was the day after my Grandfather's funeral, so that did have a large bearing. Oh well. Not the end of the world. Still got a 5 on bio and English

Only guy in my school to get a 5. Teacher was being inspected by the school board for ineffectiveness. Most everybody else I talked to from my school got a 1.

They said I would be stupid to skip the AP Calc Review to study for Chem instead. So I became stupid and got a 5. On both tests. Looking forward to the new year, my AP chem teacher promised to go under the safety shower if I got a 5.

I had an okay teacher followed by a horrendous student teacher for 2 months and then we went back to our normal teacher (who seemed tons better after the idiotic student teacher). But my friend and I figured out that we can't rely on the teachers to get us through the course. If we have a problem, it was our responsibility to solve it for ourselves or ask for help. And so throughout April, we studied extremely hard for the exam, staying after school, doing tons of practice problems, reviewing everything, asking lots of questions. And it paid off for me - I got a 5, and I was so overjoyed that all my studying helped me get that score.

My AP Chem teacher said "If you can get a 5 in AP Chem given the test's difficulty, you can get a 5 in any subject... except maybe Physics haha."

I took honors chem this year, and self studied AP starting in mid february. I worked pretty insane hours and for a month leading up to the test didn't actually do any homework at home, only studied for chem and did hw before school and during lunch. But it finally paid off, and I got a 5. I was pretty surprised, since the test was beyond impossible this year.

1 on AP Chem due to my senioritis and not giving a f*** lol

If it had been an AP Art test I wouldve gotten a 5

I literally drew pictures for the open ended (off topic ones haha) and guessed Cs on all the MC.

I scored a 1. My teacher was horrible and knew nothing. I used princeton review and read it for 5 days but i knew i was going to fail the exam. Good job to people who passed it was a hard exam
