<p>Also a 2 is much worse than a 1. 2 means you studied and tried but failed. It’s like getting silver medals instead of gold. It stands for the best loser.</p>
<p>34 percent of students who took the AP Biology exam in 2009 scored a 1.</p>
<p>25 percent of students who took the AP Calculus AB exam in 2009 scored a 1.</p>
<p>Some of these tests are very hard it should not be a black mark on anyones record if they score a 1 or a 2. As a parent, I believe that any student who expects 4s and 5s and who would be crushed by any lesser score is taking this stuff way too seriously. Setbacks are inevitable in life and many of the most valuable lessons Ive learned have come from how I responded to an unexpected letdown.</p>
<p>I got a 1 this year, and I did laugh. It was in AP Calc AB, and the course was a disaster for me, so it was the icing on the cake of a horrible class. I passed with an 87, so I didn’t see the need to be upset. Plus, I got a 4 on the Stats exam, so I never have to take math again in college regardless! </p>
<p>I think expecting all 4s and 5s is not a good way to look at it. I understand people want credit, but that’s too much stress to burden yourself with, especially when some colleges take 3s. You will not destroy your life or college career by failing an AP exam, and I say this having had a year of all 4s and 5s and then this year of getting a 1, 3, and 4.</p>
<p>Hitler shows my emotions if I got a 2 very well. I actually expected a 5 on envi sci(even though I only studied for a month), and then the 3…not cool, but not enough to cry or yell about chicago. And then I saw stats, which was a 3, but I expected failure. So much better :D</p>
<p>No, because I’d most likely deserve it and would have put in the apt amount of work (which would be little to none) in order to be awarded a 1.
So I’d just blink, most likely.</p>
<p>I got a 1 on spanish lang… and once the lady said it over the phone, i just laughed. surprised i didn’t even want to cry. you get over it, ya move on (:</p>
