Many colleges and Universities also have plecement exams as well. Taking the AP exam will aide you in the event you have to take a similar test on campus.

Good luck!

The sad thing is that you can get a 100 in the class, and a 1 on the test, and not get any credit for taking the AP level course.

But, that’s the price you pay. It is pretty much understood though, that if you can pull an A in the course (with a teacher who is doing justice to the AP curriculum), then you should be able to receive at least a 4 on the test with little effort, and a 5 if you truly apply yourself.

Don’t worry too much about the exam until it gets closer. Just follow your teacher’s instructions and do your best to master the subject materials and techniques that he/she teaches and you will be A-OK.

My first semester average in AP English my Junior year was an 82 and my second semester average was a 73. I received a 3 on the AP test.

The test determines college credit, and your grades have nothing to do with that.
