aww man

[Dudde]

I only got a 3 on my AP chemistry exam:(

[blike]

:/ well that stinks. what does that mean? You have to take it in college now?

[greg1917]

I got 2 Bs at Advanced Higher Chemistry and Physics, plus a B in Higher Economics. Slightly underwhelmed.

AP? chemistry what`s that?

 

the AP part

 

[fafalone]

advanced placement exam (highschool)... if you get a 3 or higher, you'll typically get college credit for the course. some colleges require either a 4 or 5 (5 is the highest, 1 is the lowest).

no I don't have to take it in college, because I'm in an art school. And I would probably be able to test out of a few chemistry classes if I were in a different one.

 

AP is "advanced placement", basically college chemistry for high school students, scored from 1-5

it's harder than one would think:-p

 

not to mention the other two college classes (CISCO and anatomy) at the same time so I couldn't study all the time, and I was sick the day of the test (only reason I went to school was to take the stupid thing)

 

so it's not THAT bad, better than most actually, average score is a 2, but dangit!

[YT2095]

not familiar with that? how does that compare to the UK A`level?

or now the AS and A2 level (yeah they changed it again) ya need an A`lev to just understand the level system

[daisy]

Sounds like you did fine Dudde...onya!!

[Dudde]

well yeah...but...average!!?? that isn't right! I knew I should've spent a little more time looking over those equations....regular dumb guy I am:-p

 

but the other three people in my school up to taking AP chem got two 1's and a 2;) (the two was from my friend Michelle, of whom I spent a little extra time helping, since I was the best in chemistry in my school for the last year of high school..I helped the other two too, but they just weren't smart)

 

I just think I shoulda done better

How does that level work?

is it only for elementary? secondary? etc...

[YT2095]

well as far I remember it was just the A level that you did at college

over 2 years, now year one is called AS lev and year 2 is called A2 so it`s the same really but it probably employed a room full of people to call it that and over complicate it, helping bring down the unemployment figures

from the A level you can then go on to university (If you have your other basics, Maths English etc...).
