    I took AP Language and Composition, Psychology, and Art History.

    I got a 3 in AP Lang and I'll find out my results in AP Psych and AP Art History next month.

    My school doesn't offer AP courses (some schools in Canada do; it's an interesting fact). Luckily, we still have advanced courses. I'm taking advanced English, History and Biology next year.

    I just finished AP Biology. The AP exam is NOT as hard as it's worked up to be.

    I struggled during my AP Psych and Art History exams. My AP Psych teacher had only took one college psych class 20 years ago and a summer course before school started this year.

    I'm in college now, so the AP classes I took in high school and the scores were:

    US History - 3
    Chemistry - 5
    Biology - 5
    Calculus AB - 5
    English Lit - 2 (>_>)

    Needless to say it was obvious what area my major should have been going into college.

    I took AP world history which is a two year course, but I dropped it after 1 year.
    This year I took AP language and composition and AP US history
    And next year I'm taking AP literature and AP art.

    The only one I think I'll enjoy and look back fondly on is AP art.

    I got 3s in both Biology and US History and I'm waiting on Japanese and Psychology scores.
    I failed Psych hardcore though, so not really looking forward to that.

    I really regret not taking AP US history this year. My class did exactly the same work as them, we just didn't take the exam. I might take AP biology next year, I'm definitely taking AP French senior year (the only reason I can't do it next year is because they only allow seniors to take it at my school), and I also plan on taking AP Chinese language and European History senior year.

    In high school, I took AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Lit, AP Comp, AP Psych, and AP Physics. I only took AP Lit/Comp and passed both with a 3. I knew I was going to major in science and I go to one of the best private colleges in my state for science. Through a local college, I took History, Introduction to Film, and sociology.

    I didn't want to overload myself my senior year of high school, so I took all of the AP math classes offered by my school (all two of them) since I am good at math: statistics and calculus AB. I got a five on the calc exam and a four on the statistics one. I probably could have pulled off a five if I had the motivation to, but I didn't even want to take the exam because my college doesn't allow you to skip statistics with AP credit if you are a math or science major. I found out later that it would count for basic credits, so I'm glad I did take it.

    EDIT: I wanted to take Biology in 2009 and Statistics in 2010 but they didn't offer them until a year later in both cases. Ughhh. :/

    Just AP Chemistry and AP Calculus. Got a 5 on both exams. I didn't feel the need to overload my brain my last year of school - I waited for college to do that. :slight_smile:

    Subjects here work different, but for my final year I took German, Chinese, English, Further Maths (the easy maths subject) and Health and Human Development. We got a study score out of 50 for each, where 30 was the median, 40 was the top 10%-ish of the population, and 45 was the top 2%. I got 45 for English, 42 for maths, 39 for health, 36 for German and something not wonderful for Chinese.

    Senior Year
    AP English Literature and Comp
    AP US Govt

    I slacked off junior year in English and it showed in my exam score. I actually did quite well in the AP US History course and found the material to be very interesting...I was shocked when I found out I got a 2. >_> I'll find out what I got next month on the ones I took this year. I'm expecting at least a 3 on the Lit. I honestly didn't care about the Govt exam. Our teacher didn't prepare us at all, and the course isn't needed for my major.
