It is not unusual for someone who supposedly sucks to pass (you could have worked hard and pulled through) just as it is not that unusual for someone who enjoys a subject to slip on a test. Stuff happens. This should be treated like a very college-like experience (it’s supposedly a “college-level” class right. It is indeed college level, without it being a college class). The realization that even though you are good at, or even enjoy something, you aren’t necessarily (in fact, you just aren’t) perfect at it. I see it in difficult classes like ochem w/good professors at Emory. A student may enjoy the subject, work hard, and in theory, know the material really well, but they make a C grade on their first exam (And honestly, many students in these profs. classes will make 60s-70s on most of the tests, and still know enough to kill the MCAT organic chemistry for example, or take higher level organic classes and do well). They get over it, keep working, and learn from the experience until they do better on the exams. The OP should get over this and continue to take history/political science classes and do better on those APs now that they have experience.
