Advanced Placement Testing
I got my score back for my AP Government Test. Let me start off by telling you, throughout the class I maintained the lowest B average of any of the classes. We're talking a precise 80.05%, that only got that high within the last 5 days of the quarter. Hanging on by the skin of my chinny chin chin would be an understatement. We took many a practice exam for it, and our combined grades on it consituted our final. Real easy to do well, if you nail one multiple choice test and one essay question, but in the real test, its not so easy. Time for the test rolled around, I was feeling pretty good. I thought if I got lucky I'd get a 4, but who am I kidding I'd probably get a 3. Test scores came in yesterday. Around 11:30 last night, my mother nonchalantly dropped that my score came in, and that I had gotten a 5.
I, the kid that did little to no studying all year except when it counted (aka the end of the quarter). The kid who barely did anything for his B. I, me, got a 5 on my AP Test. The injustice doesn't end at that. Kristal, one of our school's valedictorians, got a 4. Good enough for college credit, however, she found it downright insulting that I got a higher score than her. Some quotes from when she found out:
(Names changed to protect the innocent, otherwise a direct copy from the saved, unedited, log)
SunQueen: YOU GOT A 5??????????????
TheScully: YES!
SunQueen: HOW ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DID THAT HAPPEN?????????????????????????
----------------------------------------------------------------
TheScully: why is that bad? its college credit, same amount you would've gotten if you got a 4, no?
SunQueen: yes but a 4 is so humiliating especially since YOU beat me
SunQueen: no offense
Unbelievable. Mind blowing. Both incredible understatements!
