<p>I apologize if I came on a little strong. I admit, there is some resentment in me for kids who don’t have to work hard to do perfectly on these exams. Sure, my scores are the same as theirs on paper, but the work I put into that score is so much greater. In my school, the classes are top-notch enough that nearly all scores are 4s/5s for every exam each year; so studying is a necessity to get through the class. I’ve experienced very few people who can make it through an AP class at my high school with a good grade and not study throughout the year, which usually pays off with a good score.</p>
