AP WORLD SCORES SO SOOOON
The score distribution doesn’t seem that different from last year so I’m not too concerned.
Good luck guys! I didn’t take any AP tests, but I know you guys probably all did great (:
YAY!!! Now we can get our AP scores on July 6th (for those of us who have to wait in agony on July 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th!) Either that or download the app open door.
I’m so so so so so so so so nervous for my ap scores!!!
kajf;lakmsvlknvmqoeklrjvmeivmqeklrvmqerkmv. ap scores guys; this is so bad. one more day
ah good luck guys! I don’t have to worry cause I didn’t take any, but next year will be a totally different story!!
To those of you who took the math level 2 subject test and got a score of 750+, how did you prepare and what did you use to prepare? I’m taking it in October, and I need to start studying, but I don’t know where to begin.
@photogeek8 Hey so I took the Math 2 test and got an 800 using a scientific calculator (graphing calculator broke right before the test)
Some can easily knock off an 800 on Math II with no prep, for others it will take time. Before you buy prep books, I suggest taking a diagnostic test.
Now,
I used Barron’s, although I don’t think it had any effect on my score merely because I took Honors Precalc before the test. Barron’s has a great review of all the material that will be covered on the subject test. (There were no limits although there was a chapter dedicated to it in Barron’s. I wouldn’t say don’t study it, but just a simple comprehension is suitable). I was getting 790s on Barrons and I thought it was very hard. So if you are struggling with Barron’s, no worries, it’s not you. They are hard.
Spark notes it great for a last minute review as well.
Make. Sure. You. Have. A. Graphing. Calculator. Working. For. The. Test.
I can’t stress that enough. I couldn’t figure out a problem (and proceeded to skip it) because I didn’t have a graphing calculator and didn’t know how to do it algebraically. Saying that however, I stress the importance of being able to do everything algebraically.
A large part of the test that I sort of struggled with was probability. Review this. I know a lot of precalc classes don’t cover it (mine didn’t).
Other than that, I don’t know. I’m pretty strong in math to begin with and didn’t really feel like I did all that bad, besides skipping a problem. Just make sure to have a backup calculator in case your graphing calculator stops working. That saved my ass. And know how to use your graphing calculator. And know how to math. Be able to math fast.
When in doubt and just to check your answer, plug in all the choices into the problem and see if it works. DO NOT use this as a means of answering all the problems. It might come to nip you in the butt depending on the problem
That was biased advice. I think this will help greatly as well:
Just remember, the curve is very generous. You can get 5 (or is it 6) wrong and get an 800.
Good luck to everyone waiting for their AP scores!!
@photogeek8 I also got an 800 on Math II. For me, I had to prep a lot because I took Precalc two years ago and barely remember any of it. Barron’s is my prep book of choice for like everything because it overpreps you. I read the book through once and then did the practice tests 2-3 times each. If you find yourself struggling on Barron’s, don’t worry, it’s harder than the actual test.
As @ambers58 emphasized, a graphing calculator is important. If you have access to one of the “cheaty” calculators (I use a TI-89), that’s always a plus.
Lol you know there are apps you can download on Ti-84 Plus that create similar capabilities to those of the Ti-89
Oh how I wish I had one for the test. Scientific calculators suck.
@amber58 No, I didn’t. May take advantage of that in college, but my school provides a TI-89 when you are taking a calculus course, which for me is all 4 years of high school.
@Frigidcold Oh youre so lucky. You have to go out and buy your calculator in precalc. They don’t give us anything. Public schools :/.
One of the apps is 3D graphing 
Okay I just realized that in less than 9 hours I’m going to know my AP scores…
I’m so nervous
@photogeek8 I didn’t prep much, either, as I had just come out of an Honors Precalc course; I looked over the probability section of the book because I don’t do too well with probability and took like two practice tests (Barron’s), but that was it. I got an 800; I found the test quite easy with a graphing calculator.
Hey guys,
first time on this thread-never really been active in CC
anyway,
i got a 760 on sat world history. should i take it again?
AP scores are up! I got a 4 on AP world history, and I’m very happy with that score!
4 on World too. Not super happy because I’m a perfectionist.
GAH THE WEBSITE KEEPS CRASHING
