<p>Title says it all. This threads about exams that you thought you got a 5 on but didn’t. I’ll go first.</p>
<p>World History - 4</p>
<p>I worked my butt off in that class with all the HW and Essays. The tests my teacher gave us were much harder than the actual AP exam, as well. I got a 95 in the class and pretty disappointing 4 on the exam… =(</p>
<p>APUSH… grrr I thought I had it down. I guess that last essay I had to rush through killed it.</p>
<p>Physics B: I guess my lack of knowledge in the areas other than Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism screwed my chance to get a 5.</p>
<p>English Language and Composition: English is my weak subject.</p>
<p>Apes…<_<</p>
<p>AP European History: 4. My FRQs were barely a page long, but it was only the 2nd AP exam I’d ever taken (sophomore year, by the way) and I thought that was ok.</p>
<p>I get back to class AFTER the AP test and talk to my teacher about my in-class final (which was before the exam). He was like, “Oh yeah, by the way, your FRQs were too short.”</p>
<p>Yeah. Thanks for telling me then. I also didn’t know other stuff like “you’re supposed to skip the last few questions because they’re the hardest” (I never skip questions) and “you’re not supposed to write in the margins for essays” (which a teacher the following year told me, though they might still count that anyway).</p>
<p>On the other hand, “I can’t believe I didn’t get a 2” has happened to me with two other subjects, so I’m grateful overall.</p>
<p>
Who told you that?</p>
<p>APUSH, AP Eng, and AP Psych. I thought I had guaranteed 5’s on all those tests…sigh…</p>
<p>APUS - 4.
No, just no.</p>
<p>Human geography, worked so hard, thought i got every single MC right except mayb 1 or 2, did amazing on FRQs, can’t believe it still</p>
<p>AP Euro last year
I was ****ed.</p>
<p>4 on WH :'(</p>
<p>4 on APUSH.</p>
<p>I sense a trend here…</p>
<p>Did you have to bump this thread right before the AP tests?</p>
<p>It’s actually useful, so that we don’t make the same mistakes or take any of these for granted.</p>
<p>I don’t see any “mistakes” listed here, besides lack of knowledge and short essays.</p>
<p>AP Human Geography. There were some MC questions here and there that I wasn’t 100% about but I thought the FRQs were a complete joke… Yet I get a 4 … ugh.</p>
<p>Same thing is going to happen with World History I bet.</p>
