AP Grim Reaper

I couldn’t help but notice that AP scores are out as everyone is bragging about them on facebook. For those of you who aren’t with the program(such as myself) you can call (888) 308-0013 to get your grades(or just wait three more weeks for it to arrive it in the mail like a cool nonchalant person would). Have your AP number OR social security number, birthday, and a credit card number with the expiration date ready. It’s all automated, designed for those of you who are antisocial, so no worries. It will charge $8 to the credit card you provided(less than a dollar per test, great deal for me :D). The process was painless, the computer read through my score one by one and waits for you to press nine after each score so you don’t have to scramble to copy your scores down.

For all my stalkers out there, you may be wondering what I received on my test. here is my grade distribution and no more:

2 fives
2 fours
3 threes
2 twos
NO ones(:D)

With the exceptions of the fact I didn’t get ones it seems my AP score distribution fits the Collegeboard AP score distribution for individual tests perfectly, which is pretty crazy. The scores were a clusterfuck, I did much better than I expected on certain tests and completely got shat on for others. Anyways, this puts my two year AP grand total to:

8 fives
3 fours
4 threes
2 twos

which translates to nine credits at Duke, although I can’t actually transfer more than two. But it’s all good since my Yale transcript covers and goes beyond the credits that matter(and also makes up for the fact that I got a 2 in Compsci AB) It’s pretty obvious that my Junior year score distribution was much better but considering that I could have gotten 1’s on all my exams and still be in the same place I am now I’d say my senior year was an efficient allocation of my resources.

By the way JBC stands for Junior Bacon Cheeseburgers, which is a dollar(without taxes) each, for the healthy eaters out there.

AP Clusterfuck

Narcolepstic Mouse

While most are done with the two hellish weeks of AP exams, I am not, infact far from it. I got about a total of 4 hours of sleep in the past 96 hours, 20(yes… hours) of them spent playing Pokemon Fire Red. To put it in perspective for those who have followed the path of a pokemon master, I have al of the badges and am going through the cave preceding the elite four… anyways this is probably my biggest lapse in self control in a very long time, although there really isn’t much incentive in doing well on any of my exams, with the exception of self-respect of course.
