Just wondering, since it's that season again. Speaking of which, I took my French AP today, and it was humiliating (since I don't follow directions well). Anyone who has taken a test where you need to speak into one of those old tape recorder things has my sympathy. For that speaking part of the test, I was given 60 seconds each to answer four general questions, and barely took up half that time. I feel sorry for my reviewer, since he'll hear so much silence he'll think the tape is broken! Worst was the 40 minute essay that the AP people give 7 pages for you to write... I barely filled 1 1/3! Meh, all four of us in my French class had the same bad experiences though, since we're all equally incompetent, so it's fun in retrospect. Anyone have tragic AP stories (or whatever their European counterpart is)?  |

If the AP you're talking about is that same AP that I know of, then it means 'Advanced Placement'
in short it's taking college level classes in high school
AP classes are classes you take in high school that count for college credit (Units)
If they don't count for college credit, then it just looks good for when you apply for college/university because it shows that you were successful in taking harder then normal high school courses.

Yes, smi, that's correct, except you forgot about how long and painful the final tests are.  In my school, if you take an AP course, the national test at the end of the year is mandatory. <_< Speaking of which, I have another one tomorrow, then Thursday, then next Tuesday! /dances What fun! :stake: |

mandatory to pass I wouldn't know though...I'm special :alien: I never took any AP classes. at the time I didn't know they counted for college credit, but even if I did know, I still probably wouldn't have taken it :paranoid: I just feel sorry for those who have to take the exit exam (on top of all the other shit they have to do) *looks at under do you have to take it under? I know they pushed the year back, but I don't know how far (indefinitely perhaps) (not like you wouldn't pass it of course) *knocks on wood just in case you understand... :sheep: |

I know of some people who managed to do GCSEs (Year 10-11/high school final test things) a couple of years early, because their parents were teachers or something, but I think they still had to do them with everyone else anyway. |

Speaking of which, how was the stat test... I'm guessing you took it today? Question 5b on the part II was incredibly impossible, no? |

only one this year... AP US History. That's coming up for me this Friday. I already chewed my way through AP English Language, thankfully. Good luck, under. Next year is going to be interesting... AP Gov, AP Latin 4, AP English Lit. Hoo boy. |

I had fun on today's English Composition one... except I had to do 55 MC questions in 1 hour and 3 essays in another 2 hours. You don't know pain until you take the English AP. LOL
