<p>whosthat, some people have received their scores in the mail already.</p>
<p>oli, I can relate to you. I worked my ass off all year and have an A in APUSH, but I ended up with a 3 on the AP exam. I actually did study outside of school, not as much as I should have, but I read over the whole Princeton Review book. And my teacher decided playing music and movies the week before the test and not reviewing AT ALL was a good idea. Maybe this is why none of her students have ever produced a 5.</p>
<p>There is a certain amount you can learn from reading review books, but if you didn’t have the in depth instruction in school, it’s a lot harder to get a good grade.</p>
<p>From what I have read, adcoms will look at the fact that you took the AP class and did well in the class. Exam grades are used mostly for placement purposes. Anyway, I don’t really have advice, just wanted to let you know you’re not alone, and it’s not always grade inflation that leads to high class grades and low AP exams.</p>
