I got my AP scores back and couldn't be happier. In Chemestry I got a 4, on the Calculus BC I got a 5, on the Physics C Mech + E&M I got a 5x5. What did you guys get on these. If you took the test, you've earned the bragging rights.

I didn't take AP tests either, just SAT, but they're basically set up to get you college credit/skip the intro classes (I think ;) )

I never finished or passed my BTEC National Diploma In Graphic Design, (College Qualification) :eek: :eek: :eek:
So in essence I got into University to do my BA (Hons) Degree in Design with nothing but GCSE's (High School Qualifications)... even child prodigy's can't get away with that!!

hey, that's cool...and it makes sense
my first two years of college were little more than a rehash of high school...of course, it was a little harder, but not really that much
i say make college a three year deal, with one year of general ed review and the following two years as the upper division study of the major
but, on the other hand, require all master's degrees to have a thesis...actually the only major master's degree that does not require it is the mba degree and that explains why they are a dime a dozen...if one had to actually write a life's work to earn that master's degree, then maybe the degree would be worth something more
also with this recession and rising college costs, fewer people will be able to afford college so the state should funnel some of their education monies into one and two year trade schools
the trades have paid more than the professions in most cases in recessionary times so that would be a good idea, too
i think i solved the education issues for the day in ten minutes:p

Showing my age? I just turned 23 and I STILL don't know what you're all talking about. I'm Canadian (yay!!).
GCSE............that's from the British school system. You take 3 years of courses from when you're 13-16 to get a diploma, but you take 2 years of courses from 17-18 if you intend on going to University. These are called your " 'A' levels".
I'm sure it's different in the US. :(
AP?? All I know is the SAT.

AP stands for Advanced Placement.
It gives you the opportunity to take harder classes (think Honors) and then take an exam for college credit. Usually a 3 is the baseline for receiving credit, although some universities require 4s.
So, with my collection of 3s and 4s, I had almost 30 units (1 year) of undergraduate college credit taken care of. :D

it's an English thing...
G.C.S.E's (General Certificate Secondary Education) are the qualifications you gain here in Secondary School/High School when you're 16.
These allow you (depending on results) to go to College and study a specific course, such as Graphic Design or go on to A Levels.
BTEC (Business Training and Education Council) was the qualification I would have earned at College, had I been bothered to finish it, generally BTEC's are a more 'Technical' Qualification, for Design, engineering etc etc, takes 2 years.
Once you get either A Levels, BTEC or some other form of further education qualification, you can then apply for Degree courses at University.
So essentially I got into University to do a degree with little more than my High School qualifications!! (even though I obviously had the 2 years design experience from my BTEC that I never finished!!)

I snuck in with a three on the English Language test, so I was content with that, seeing as I didn't believe I'd even pass.
After my senior year I'll be taking the English Literature test, the Calculus AB test, the Spanish Language test, the German Language test, and/or the Chemistry test, depending on the scheduling of the exams.
Since English has never been my strong point, I should do better on the other tests.

Wow, Spanish and German. I was always terrible with languages (Never took the English one ;) ), but last year I got a 3 in American History and a 5 on the Physics B.
To clear up the Euro thing, he mean European History. Never took that one either, Amercian was plenty hard for me.

When I took my APs, I got a 5 on US History and a 4 in Physics C Mech junior year, then senior year I got a 4 in english lit, a 5 in Bio and a 3 in Statistics (I knew AP stats was way to easy of a class...i got A's by sitting around in class playing tetris on my calculator)...so I started my college career with 4 credits (I'm on trimesters, so every class you take here is worth one credit, as were all my APs. I didn't get credit for stats, but i may take the placement test for it if i decide to take a stats course). Thats like a free trimester of college right there!

I'm taking French as well, but I won't be at an AP level (only three years) after my senior year. Besides, I've taken French completely on my own (next year will be my first year in a classroom) and I doubt my skill in French.
German is going to be tough, because my teachers, simply, have sucked. The first two years moved slowly enough, but last year saw the progress of only four chapters in a twelve chapter book. Therefore, I undertook aggressive studying of German outside the classroom (and inside, seeing as we were doing nothing), but I still do not see myself as proficient by any means.
Spanish is the one subject I feel comfortable in, thanks to an excellent teaching staff that allowed me to not only skip a year, but also take time after school to help bridge the gaps of the year I skipped.
EDIT: By the way, what's the extent of the Calculus AB test? I've been reading a calculus book to keep refreshed on the calculus subject all summer, and I've got another, more advanced book after that, this before going into the second year of AP study at my high school. I'd really like a score higher than a three, and was just curious.

The AB course isn't bad at all I'm sure (I took the BC). Just get the concepts doen and why you are supposed to care about it. Calculus isn't just about playing with numbers. ;)

Recently, the principal at my school started encouraging students to take AP tests, but the curriculum is not there. My calculus AP class doesn't do jack ***** for the AP test.
I took Physics B, English Lit., and Macroeconomics... I'll have to wait to see how I did...

This is all quite interesting.
I remember that you could skip pre med in ireland if you got A1's in Leaving certificate Biology.... and Chemistry(i think).
In the end my college just got rid of pre-med making it a five year course instead of six.In one way this is better because the course is shorter and pre med would be quite boring but on the other hand all those who could skip pre med lose the ability to brag about it :)

Calc AB does derivates, limits, basic integrals (up to integration by parts), Applications in volume and rotation....they do trig derivatives and integrals but not inverse trig things. They don't do much ln or log or exponents either...

My school does it differently. If you take the class, you are required to register for the test, but not take it. If you don't, the district doesn't give you credit, and you have to take the class as if it were a regular level class.
I'm hoping my scores come tomorrow. I really think I got a 5, since I didn't think it was much harder than the Regents, and I got a 95 on that.
I hope I got a 5. It works in my favor if my grade on it is good(good grades = permit sooner. I can't wait to drive!)

wow, all you kids are super smart
when i was in high school, back in the days of george washington, it was very rare for a kid to take calculus before college...in my graduating class of over 200, there were maybe 20
for some of you, it almost looks like you can get awarded a high school diploma AND an associates of arts degree at the same time
while the high school diploma is one of society's great rites of passage for the majority of the population...it is still not as hard as a college degree
maybe it is a good idea for the high achieving high school kids to test past the first two years of college (or nearly two years), but the kids who have to take all college courses in two years will still get the full college experience and get better depth of learning
as good as teachers with BAs and K-12 credentials are in high school, you are still, in most cases going to get a better education on those subjects from college teachers who have their PhDs in the given subject
college is not a 100 yard dash, so taking all college courses in four years cannot hurt the student
...but for budget related reasons, especially now in california, it might make sense to turn a bachelor's degree into a three year course of study...it's better than firing teachers and staff

you are smart to have that mindset...save like a freak now...believe me, it will help
i got thru undergrad with no debt, but when it came to grad school, i used credit cards until i ran out of money and got stranded half way through
my only other option was to get a major student loan...and those are also really hard to pay back also
the best thing is to pay for all your schooling so you won't start out your career life twenty or thirty grand in debt...while student loans do not have a high apr, the usually gigantic amount people take out in those loans handcuff you for years and many end up, after college, putting up with horrible jobs trying to pay off that loan...there is little time to plan a career path and get that custom job fit
but if you have no debt after school, you can really be free to plan things out and take lots of time
...and that may mean one less mac here and there:p

Well, I'm a rising Sophomore at Northwestern University, but:
In 11th grade, I got a 5 on AP Chemistry and a 5 on AP Calc AB (the highest math course my crappy school offers). I had to self-study the first half of AB.
In 12th grade, I self-studied Calc BC in its entirity, got a 5. I got a 5 on English Lit. & Comp. I took an algebra-based mechanics course (couldn't take calc because of scheduling difficulties, and none offered at my crappy school) at a local university (local=40 miles away, twice a week, 3 hours on tuesdays, 1 hour on mondays, aaaargh), and then self-studied for the Physics C mechanics test. Didn't work out so well, ended up with a 3.
Congrats on the pair of 5's for Physics. I'm sure having an actual class helped :D but that's a tough test. Kudos.
You guys have definitely taken a lot of ap tests. I wish I could have...I lived in Podunk: The only three ap tests offered were Chem, English Lit & Comp, and Calc AB. Consider yourselves lucky in that respect!

I know what you mean...For grad school, you can get a lot of money through grants if you're smart. Especially in the sciences. If you're in the sciences, make sure you do research. Last quarter, I did research on organometallic macrocycles. Basically, I made big molecules and screwed up many times. Next quarter, I'm going to a more interesting DNA research project. If you've done a lot of research you can get money for grad school. I'm sure this applies to other areas as well.
But in a way, I'm kinda like you as far as the 3 years deal. I'm in the Honors Program in Med. Education at Northwestern, which means I get my undergrad degree in 3 years. The nice bonus is that I've already been admitted to medical school there, as well, so I continue on for 4 years with med school and don't have to take the MCAT unless I plan to apply elsewhere. If by any chance you're interested in medicine and are yet to apply to undergrad, you should look at 7-year med programs. It makes life a lot easier. But now I look back and you said specifically 'grad' school which usually means PhD or MBA: people looking at law school & med school usually don't call it grad school, but oh well! If you are interested in med or someone else around here is, 7-year med is a good way to go.
jefhatfield
Jul 16, 2003, 12:39 PM
grad school is the umbrella term which covers all subjects...as seen in us news and world reports, "the best graduate schools" which covers many subjects including medicine and law
medicine and law have their own well recognized vibe to them so people who go to either one just refer to their particular subject, as in med school or law school
mba students have their own culture and often refer to their education as b-school or business school, but b-school also offers the undergraduate education
when someone says they went to a really good b-school, they are referring to the master's degree level

In Washington, we have a program called "Running Start" where high school students can go to local colleges and take college classes, and it's accepted as high school credit. Many people in my high school graduated high school with AA's.
My AP scores:
US History: 4
US Govt/Politics: 5
English Lit: 5
Which is worth 12 credits at my university, which is most of a semester :)
Nothing like my friend Mike, however. He's in law school now, but when he took AP exams, he took 10 of them. He got 4's on French and German and 5's on US History, Physics, Environmental Science, Calculus, Chemistry, European History, and a couple others. Incidentally, he actually got 62 credits and junior standing in college (but still took three years to graduate because his credits didn't all fulfill the requirements he needed to fill.)

good luck in your mba studies
one of the key aspects of a good mba school is the connections...the other is the education
since the curriculum has been standardized to fit the harvard case study method, nearly all b-schools are going to give you the same type of education...and the first year will be almost entirely undergrad refresh courses in the major business subjects
so then one may ask what is the value of an mba?
that's where the connections come in...while a state funded university or an online mba school can give you a fine education, your best bet, and perhaps lifelong connections are abundant at elite, private mba schools...not everybody knows this and they like to keep it a secret
where i live there are two very comparable mba schools... uc berkeley and stanford...one is so tied up in political correctness and changing the world into being made into it's ultra liberal image while the other one built silicon valley's business structure...i will let you guess which one is which ;)
of course, if you want to be an instructor of mba/business undergrads, go for the other school...they are the best...perhaps in the nation
the west coast where you are has a couple of really decent mba schools *stanford and usc stand way out for reasons i mentioned above, but the east is chock full of them and i wish i had gone there

I got a 4 on both the Calculus and English tests in high school. Not that I cared much back then, I was more into getting high and drunk than getting good grades. By the way, are they still giving out an extra grade point for taking those classes? i know I was getting a 4.0 from AP classes I got a B in, and a 5.0 (on a 4 point scale) if I got an A. This seems fundamentaly unfair to include these grades when competing for college against students who didn't have access to as many AP classes as others. I know kids in my school who were graduating with something close to a 4.5 GPA. Now how is someone who gets a 4.0 going to compete for college admissions against that? Just my $.02.

I didn't go on to college after HS, I spent some time in the gutter (not literally, but close) then went back to comm college (Cabrillo for those in the SC area) and did well there before transfering to CalPoly's architecture program in 1998 with a 3.5 GPA. Since then my GPA has dropped to a 3.1 (CalPoly is harder than Cabrillo! go figure) but still managed to get on the Dean's list a bunch of quarters and accepted into the architectural masters program. I don't spend much time in the library, but that's cuz I got a PB with wireless internet and a cable modem at home. I can access a good portion of the material in the library from here, and what I can't get online I reserve and just go pick up. Plus us architecture students get labs where you can keep your stuff, work all night, party, etc. and only you and your class has the key to that room, so I didn't need anywhere to hang out between classes and stuff. Good to hear from another CP grad!

i have a friend who got his master's at michigan and moved out here to be a custom home architect but instead he got a job redesigning supermarkets and he is waiting to get the heck out of that and do homes...since he did not know california culture, he had a hard time finding the right area and people to get into the field he wanted
i showed him pebble beach and he nearly flipped over backwards:p

Monterey is a prime area of consideration as soon as I am done with my masters next year. Lots of money for people like me to build houses with. Since I have a minor in Construction Management, I'm looking forward to finding a design/build type of firm.
So where did you finish your degree at?

golden gate university...a small business and law school in san francisco
it was a long journey...after poly undergrad b-school, i went back to jc when i switched majors so i had to take some freshman courses again, then i went to sonoma state but did not like that major (creative writing), so i decided studying business was the best after all that and finished up at golden gate..one big long circle that took until i was 30
monterey has a really tight set of laws when it comes to building new houses...so that has made everybody all of a sudden want to remodel their homes...and the face of the area has changed radically
the empty lots are still empty because there is this no build thing going on, but faces of homes and walls are being ripped up like crazy and lots of redesign stuff is available...i think for remodels, there is a lot of money involved
the amount of money people have to shell out in cali is crazy and remodels cost more than entire homes in the rest of the usa...it's not fair, but it may be a good way to make a living
it's like starbucks...the coffee is too high, but instead of being mad, it's prolly a good idea and just buy a franchise:p

Almost a week later.....I get my score.
4 on Euro (European History :)). I am very happy. I am a little confused about the mailing schedule. How do they send them out? Ah, I doubt I'll get answer, this seems like a dying thread. :)

5 on CompSci
5 on AB Calc
2 on US History
Let that be a testament to how bad a teacher (say...a US History teacher) can mess you up

A few days ago my parents spent $30 calling up the results for my Chemistry and Calculus AB. I told them not to, figuring the results would be delivered by mail soon.
Later that day the results came (by coincidence) in the mail.
There goes the opportunity to buy a few CDs.
Anyways, now I have legit. results:
Chemistry: 4
Calculus AB: 5
That saves us about $4000 in college credits.
