<p>If you go to a regular state school you’ll be fine. If you go to a tough school with little to moderate grade inflation with a smart student body you will have to work. I went to a hard private school and got straight A’s junior and senior year(took 8 AP’s total) working on average maybe an hour a day(got mostly 5’s some 4’s). To do the same here, its on average six hours a day, and you have to be intuitive and apply what you know, lots of kids work as much as I do and do worse. In high school test questions are similar to what you’ve been doing in class. In some college classes, the questions will be nothing like you’ve ever seen before, you just have to figure it out with what you know.</p>
