AP exams are actually way harder than college finals. I failed my APUSH and AP Chemistry exam in high school, but haven’t made less than a 92 on any finals. (I don’t think I filled in the withdraw form either, but I got accepted so… 🤷🏻♀️😅)
🎉🎉🎉 I completely agree. College finals only cover one semester’s worth of knowledge, and they’re usually way shorter than AP exams too!
Uh what’s ur major?
guys i failed my first ap exam and i graduated yesterday with NO IMPACT from the exam ✌️i promise ap exam scores don’t matter as much as you think they do
Which one?
I'm assuming you mean graduated college ?
sorry- graduated high school. however the college i’m going to doesn’t accept ap scores as credits anyway since there aren’t gen ed’s
This lowers a ginormous part of my anxiety, thank you so much I feel so much more comfortable.
ahaha. I'm watching this before I take my ap chem exam tmrw. didn't study at all and had a horrible teacher. Ik scores dont matter, but one day i'm gonna breakdown cause thas how i am..
@@1saamor897 i hope you did well! i have ap psych tomorrow
@@mikksandangel i got a 1. guessed on 90% of the test. i tried, but senoritis kicked in
@@1saamor897 feel this. taking ap human geography test tomorrow,teacher never taught us shot and sat on her ass all day. i didn’t pay attention because i have MDD so.. sucks.
the only reasons AP kids really want 5s are for our pride, and academic validation.
I large reason is that we want to get a good score to submit to colleges.
Yeah definitely not my black parents hovering over me with a belt
I’m here cause I got a 2 on my APUSH exam. I literally couldn’t believe it, my jaw dropped and I cried. I’m a straight A student (i’ve always had an A in APUSH class), I’m ranked #2 out of all the kids in my grade, so why did I fail? I worked so hard, always did my work, came to after school review sessions, and I even studied (I reread all my APUSH notes which literally, like literally took about 7 hrs). It almost seemed unbelievable, like I legit thought it was a mistake cause the score felt so unreal… but it happens. I’m just trying to think now that scores means absolutely nothing, it’s the effort you put along the way. I worked so hard; omg, i don’t even want to talk about the constant chapter outlines we had (doing homework at 3am 😅). This class made me so stressed, but I still worked hard, and now it feels that ALL that work, ALL that stress was for nothing. I’m just trying to forget about it. I wanted to write all this to let people know that even someone like me didn’t pass the exam, so really don’t feel bad. You know what? F ap, it’s just a really hard class with a lot of work, we’ll get it next time.
this is everything i was feeling & now im crying thank u for voicing this im sure other ppl in similar situations feel comfort in the fact that they’re not alone, bc i know i do
Does your gpa drop when you don’t pass an AP exam?
@@Xoxo.Zamara nope it doesn't affect you in a negative way well it does if you count the stress
AP exams can't hurt you, they can only either have no effect at all or a good effect :)
Well said!
hurt me emotionally fs tho 💔
I was part of the 30% that got a 1 on AP psych in 2021. for me it was bc 2020 was highly traumatic for me especially around the school year (not just because of covid) and because of the trauma i had taken on i couldnt handle the information in the course. It overwhelmed me to know too much about myself and how i work so i did the bare minimum, ultimately failing the exam.
I failed it as well last year with a 2. And that was with lots of studying, and by lots I mean “more than I usually do” which I usually never study, ps hope all is well with the trauma from 2020. I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes that year so that was a crappy year for everyone honestly.
This helped lower some anxiety for my physics 1 exam on Thursday, but honestly, I don't care how well I do anymore, I'm so over it
I'm taking AP Physics next year. Did you have a good teacher?
haha, my fear for the phys 1 exam hasnt quite dissipated yet, but hopefully it will, come the 12th. good luck to you on thursday. i'll be testing right alongside you in spirit!
@@sugky5236 hey good luck to you too my friend, we got this
@@siobhanbartz6460 I have a phenominal teacher, but honestlly, it comes down to how much you focus and keep up because it is incrediblly easy to fall behind in the class.
Just did the exam and bruhh im ready to be part of that 30%😭
Nothing happens. We will all make it
I checked my ap scores yesterday and cried… I took 3 tests and failed ALL OF THEM (I got 2s on all of them) I cried and I feel so incredibly defeated especially because my other friends got pretty decent scores and passed … I’m so sad and heartbroken bc I thought I would pass all of them… :( for anyone feeling the same just know you’re not alone
Hey I’m with you on that, don’t feel alone we can learn from our mistakes and move forward 💪. After all, an exam shouldn’t determine your own ability on a certain day. So don’t worry :>>
Hey man I checked mine tonight and I failed both my AP Human geo and AP american gov I got a 2 on American and 1 on human geo I feel so broken hearted and I passed those classes and I fucking couldn’t even get a 3. I even thought I knew half the stuff on it, I’m so angry and miserable idk even what to do.
Great video. This was very helpful it makes me feel more comfortable for the APs
I really regret doing AP in the first place, but I have no choice but to do so after college-board cancelled the SAT 2’s, so thank you college board for making a lower than average student miserable.
as someone who took the ap test and is in my first choice uni, you're test score at the end of the day isn't a big matter if you passed great u don't pay thousands 🤣 and if u didn't pass admission will usually only see that u actually took the "hard" AP class and consider u a dedicated student regardless :)
Thank you so much. I have the ap world test tomorrow and I feel a lot better now. Thank you.
I’m so nervous for ap comp SCI this Wednesday and this video helped lower my stress I’ll keep studying but keep in mind it ain’t that deep thank you
Best of luck!!
Same but I just can’t bring myself to study much even though it’s tommrow I got wiped out studying for ap gov and I’m sorta confident that I got ap CSP
I had a friend whose top 3% of his graduating class that took AP comp sci. He was the only one taking it at my school and finished in 10 minutes. He guessed through it bc he didn’t know anything on there lol
Did you do well?
I’m only here after getting a 2 on the AP comp sci- I had an 84% in the class and thought i was going to at least get a 3 but I’m not too sad since it wasn’t a class I even wanted to take 😭
Thank you so much for this, I took the ap seminar exam yesterday and am taking ap world next week and was really concerned about my scores
I really think my school failed us this year and I’m not confident at all, so I’m going to try not to hate myself for a low score 💀
just self study a bit
@@alecsli just did my ap calc test this Monday and it had so much stuff I wasn’t taught, I studied what I was taught but the subject matter was barely there😭
@@dannyblanco8544 same, I was never even in class for the subject due to covid and teacher shortages. I guessed through most of it
Whether I passed my AP exams or not this year determines which continent I'm going to live in next school year.
currently just manifesting a passing grade on my ap physics exam
Just took my ap calc test today and my ap phys on Thursday😬
Calc I was actually confident on the mcq but the frqs killed me
the frqs had me seeing stars
Bruhh I guessed on most mcqs 💀 the frqs made me apologize
I took my AP Calc test too. The FRQs killed me.
Of course I take ap us history and ap psych the two courses with 30% fail rates. I’m probably the worst student because of my lack of effort, care, and work ethic. It’s hard for me to do well in courses I hate. I took these two courses because I was always interested in social studies and psychology up until this year when everything went downhill. The combination of having a fast paced teacher that spewed information at me faster than I could process it and sitting through numerous uninteresting topics that didn’t make sense to me, is why I now hate both psychology and us history. I am either going to join the fire department while also going to law school to become a lawyer or go the medical route to become a surgeon or anesthesiologist. Hopefully a college will see that I have a lot of potential and not base me off a couple of test scores that I received in high school. Especially when I’m doing 2 years of community college first just to set a foundation for what I’m really interested in. I hate not being at the top of my ap classes, although I’ve never been a straight A student.
i'm sorry to hear your bad experiences with the teachers ruined your perception of those subjects! it's so unfortunate that teachers have such big influences on our lives and how we view certain subjects because i feel like most teachers don't even realize how much they affect a student's mind. i personally cannot stand chemistry because of how awful and stressful that class was, even when i try to be interested in anything chem-related. for your sake though, i hope you are able to regain some love for social studies/psych for your own sake. good luck in the future!!
That’s exactly how I felt while doing AP world history this year man. I hated the class, and it was pretty hard for me to even try caring or do well in it. I get how you feel, all ima say is that at least you took them for experience and know what they look like. Not everyone does AP courses, so it was good that you did. It’s worth a try! 😁 (P.S. even if you don’t take AP courses, that’s still alright)
what if I don’t have as much college credit as anyone else because I failed my exams? wont I be less likely to get into that college?
The biggest reason to take an AP exam is to get college credit. If the school accepts the score then you won't have to take the class in college. Less classes to take in college, less time in college, therefore saving money.
I failed the actual Ap world history class as well as failing the exam as a freshman 😫
i got a 2
@@ayvahgrace1785 just saw my score today. I also got a 2 on the ap world exam lol
Bro i got a 2 too!
lol i got a 1 on the apush test so im glad to know its not too important. what a relief.
i got 1s on ap physics and psych…..🤗 kms.
It’s so sad that this video was recommended after I took my AP test
literally same- i ran out of time during my ap bio exam and started panicking
AHAHAHA SAMEEE
I felt like I got a 2 on my apcsp and I really don’t want to take the class again I’m college, do I have to take it, and is it the same degree as game design cus I want to major in game design. Sorry I’m so stressed out
Thank you, I was shaking in my room
Hope it went ok!
holy crap jolyne
I have a 4.6 GPA but got a 2 on my AP Lang exam and even though I was doing well and that class and managed to maintain a 93% and higher all year round. I was literally so shocked and in disbelief J thought N in would at least get a 4 and lowest 3 but J never thought I would fail it.
So that means if my ap score was a 1 or 2, it won't affect me as much if I don't consder biology as a major in college?
If you get a 1 or 2, you’ll be better prepared in college courses, even Biology! A low AP score shouldn’t affect what you choose to major in.
If I failed 2 ap exams, won’t I apear less competitive to colleges?
thanks from readnig the comments i know that the stress u get from worrying about failing your exam is going to affect you more than failing the actual exam. I'm going to try to calm down altho I'm still hella stressed bc I didn't study at all for my exam tmr and its at 6am and I'm contemplating whether I should stay up all night to study or just go and get a bunch wrong 😭😭
I hope you got some sleep! Best of luck, sending good vibes.
I am taking the AP Psychology exam this year and I am a senior, and I am dead scared because I don’t want a bad exam score to have my admission revoked to the school I worked soo hard to get into: Northeastern University
I don’t know why I’m watching this, I’m so anxious about my ap bio exam from today. I think got a 4 or 5 but I realllyyyy want that five ;-; I wish they told us what we miss at least. I guess I’ll suffer until July. The stress hasn’t even stopped, it feels like the exam isn’t over >.
omgg!! how did you dooo???
did u get a 5?
i’m so scared i have mine in a little over a month 😭😭😭😭
Here the day before I take my Ap lit exam
How did you do? Or how do you feel like you did?
@@aleckbo Honestly, I don't think I did really well, especially the writing portion. Although I feel pretty confident with the multiple choice section.
I just checked my score and I got a 2 in ap bio 😭😭 I’m gonna retake it but idk if it’s just gonna be a waste of time or not
Can you retake the test?
What if your doing capstone...
guys... i just checked out that i got 1 on ap psychology. i just want to die haha
hello there! my school makes students take the AP exam and if not they have to pay BUT im taking AP Bio exam in 2 hours and i did pretty bad in the class (75 first semester and 80 second semester) my first C in high school. I want to go into STEM but this class was so hard for me (it was also my first AP class ever taken). Do you think this will affect my chances on going for a STEM program? I am not planning on submitting this bio score because my teachers been gone for 3 months so basically no one has been teaching us and i dont expect much from this exam
I took it too😆
@@chamoy7u759 how do you think you did?!?!? i dont this it was horrible but if i had spent more time studying i think i would’ve done better on the mcq
@@nicolegarcia730 To be honest, I couldn't complete 2 FRQs, those were horribly hard 🤯🤯, but I kind of felt more confident doing the MCQs. Hopefully we both p get it with a good score. 🤓📚 I was hella nervous. How did you feel?
@@chamoy7u759 i kinda bs’d it because my teacher hasn’t been here for three months so it was hard learning on my own already buttt i had trouble in the beginning of the year i def feel like the mcq was broader then the tests which helped me. same with frq. i hope i get minimum a 2 lol
@@nicolegarcia730 no worries I understand you becauhad that experience of learning by my own because was stuck in Mexico because I got covid and my flight had to be canceled, so I missed 3 months of classes.
Even though I don't know you, I have the feeling that you are smart ✨
Dude i did just came out........
Thanks for the copium, just took my ap lit exam 😢
I'm taking AP Spanish today my anxiety is killing me
Don’t be! You’ll Great!
@@amylyma Thanks 😭👍❤
I’m in 10th grade now but in 9th we took APHUG and AP American Gov and I fucking failed both dude. I literally wanna cry so bad I just found out and I feel so worthless and hopeless. I’m in IB so I should be smart and I passed my other exams but the two I needed to pass I failed I got a 1 on APHUG and a 2 on AP American Gov. Dude idk what else to do besides cry and just feel hopeless because now colleges are gonna see me and just disown me and I’ll never get into anything really good.
you took those when you were a freshman buddy its going to be ok
@@jex_fooly
I am in the 11th grade right now. I am taking my AP biology in May. If I fail, what bearing will that have on the rest of my academic career (universities and all that)?
@@katanaguy2 you don’t get college credit if you fail but the thing is you have to send the scores to the college you apply to and if you fail you can just.. not send it lol. The AP credit only really knocks out intro classes if the college have ones that qualify. Some don’t even get to use the credit because the credit simply wasn’t accepted.
There are other ways to get college credit like dual enrollment if it’s available or go to community college and transfer your credits. Maybe some more idr.
my school doesn't recommend AP courses for freshies.... I'm taking AP Psych... WISH ME LUCK NEXT YEAR LOL ( *cough* *cough*Watching this video ahead of time *cough* *cough*)
psych is so much fun i’m sure you’re gonna love it
im in 9th grade and took ap physics 1 test self study and i felt like i got a 2 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
2 is better than 1! In seriousness, no use worrying while you wait for scores to come out. And you have lots of room to grow during the rest of high school. Gl!
@@LassetersLab thzx i think i got like 60 or 70% of frq right but im not confident on mcq
I accidentally reported ;(
