I’m just going to assume that you were one of those people in high school that couldn’t get above a C+ in your AP courses, right? Again, Cutoff. Is. At. 70-80%!!! You can basically skip 5 questions on AP Language and Composition Exam (which is what I did), perform well on the essays, and still get a 5. As for Physics, that test, I will admit, was challenging, but still easy to get basically above a B on it.
Now, on to your argument…
Under the notion that you are on the defense for those that can’t understand 4/5 of their entire coursework and knowledge of AP scaling, it is pretty reasonable to assume that you didn’t get a 5 on every test that you took. So you can take these, “pearls of wisdom” and try to comprehend that only lazy and moronic imbeciles can’t make those cutoffs. Additionally, those “facts” about Chinese and Calculus BC being the only outliers scoring significantly above 20%? You might want to check that again, seeing as how both Physics C: Mechanics (28.1%) and Electricity and Magnetism (34.7%) both score significantly above as well. Want more? Take Computer Science A (24.4%) and Comparative Government and Politics (23.7%). And if you even try to say how it’s only a “3 to 4 percent difference,” realize first that tens (and in some cases hundreds) of thousands of people take these exams every year! Therefore, even a change of 1% indicates a variation of at LEAST, 100 more people scoring a 5–as in the case of this analysis. This is still not even mentioning the fact that AP Chinese is most likely a heavily skewed test, seeing as how most people who do pursue that AP are either Chinese or have previous knowledge on the language…
And if you even think that I’m in for a “rude awakening” when I enter college, realize that one only needs discipline and focus in their chosen career to be successful at it and not be the same as everyone else. Those who can’t succeed in basic AP courses and their generous scoring should seriously reconsider advancing in any given profession and how they will continue on with their lives in general. One last thing, however, before I end this comment, can you please, at a bare MINIMUM, try and present a full argument on your subject matter and present valid statistics to support them? It really bothers me when someone as “superior” as a super moderator can’t even take the time to develop a response; as opposed to me, being here, “a user that has been here for three days,” developing much more advanced and detailed rebuttals.
