    Oh yeah, all the questions has friggen 3-4 parts all wanting you talk about 3 things each part. They were easy though. It was a matter of time consumption not expertise.

    Took the following AP exams:

    Calc AB
    Calc BC
    Biology
    Chemistry
    Microeconomics
    Macroeconomics
    US History
    European History
    English Language
    English Literature
    Psychology
    Statistics

    I think I took ~7 of them senior year and it was two weeks of the most amazing BS since I didn't really study for any of them, but they all turned out really well so I guess nothing to really regret.

    As for the DBQ, was the vietnam one on the 2008 APs? If so, I'm pretty sure that I had to write that one.

    In retrospect, though, they really pale in comparison to college finals.

    Well the tests are supposed to be comparable to only introductory classes of that topic. Also, college structure is much different then high school in terms of learning. 2-3 hour lessons, 3 days a week are much better for more comprehensive thought then the 55 minutes a day along with 5 others classes taking up my time and energy and short term memory of that day, I have in my high school.

    Hey, it's you! You helped me with my calculus back in my first year, and are also the guy who nobody could identify in the photo album thread, where you posted a group picture.

    Good to see ya back, bro!

    Where are you planning to go ACIN? Many colleges will take a 3 anyway. Then again, some will take only 4 or higher and not even pass you out of many subjects, just give you departmental credit...

    I took AP CS A last week. I have no facility with Java, so I bombed on the multiple choice. The long-answer problems, thankfully, were monstrously easy.

    Next week I'll take AP US and AP Spanish.

    I'm going to UC Santa Cruz. I'm planning on getting my undergrad there, possibly getting some work experience during the last two years of it or for a year or so after graduating then heading over to UCLA or Berkley for my masters.

    Advanced Placement. They are advanced high school classes students can take in various subjects. Some schools weight grades in these classes differently, and there are exams that will give you a grade (nationally) that colleges love.

    It was easy if you simply remembered the topics. My class went over electricity and mechanics so much that we left every other topic of to the side. fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, optics and atomic physics were all barely covered so that is what ultimately killed me. Everything that involved blocks, charges and current was easy.

So, the stuff everyone had studied wasn't even asked, and the stuff no one had studied accounted for nearly 20% of the essay score. There was much anguish, and the failure rate jumped by a good 10 to 15%. It was a bad year for a lot of people. Fortunately, three days before the exam, Scienter and I decided that, even though we had been advised not to bother with Commercial Paper and Secured Transactions, we would study them anyway 'just in case.' So, we passed without any problems.
    The people in my row were probably a little annoyed at my short happy dance when I saw the commercial paper question. One of the people at my table didn't even come back for the second day of the test. So glad I never have to do that again!

    Yup. It also has absolutely nothing with one's ability to practice law. It's simply an exercise to show how well you can memorize a ton of information and regurgitate it.

    Even more ridiculous: in Virginia, there is a dress code for the Bar exam. We had to wear suits because we're supposed to dress as if we were going to argue in court. But, women were prohibited from wearing high heels because they're too noisy, so most the women were wearing suits and sneakers. Women weren't allowed to wear pantsuits to take the Bar until the end of the 1990s! Also, no one could bring bags in with them unless they were clear zip lock bags. So everyone could see people's medications, tampons/pads, and other private items that are normally concealed in a purse or backpack.
