<p>I know a few people who were telling me that just one or two people in their AP Chem classes got a 5, the rest 4’s and below. Many of those 4’s (a couple 3’s too) got into their top schools. It’s a very difficult test, and many brilliant kids get 4’s yet do fine. </p>
<p>Though I’m not sure how this would apply to someone applying to a top chemistry or chemical engineering program or something.</p>
