That just reminds me how glad I am to be out and done with school. Good thing I scored a great job as Supremem Commander of the Asgard Fleet so I don't have to go back to school...

"advanced placement" courses. the exams are based on a 1-5 scale 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. colleges in the US usually accept 4's or 5's as college credit and therefor you woulnd't have to take those courses in college. in retrospect...the $74 for the exam saves you the thousands of dollars you would spend for the class in college...

OMG! Me neither...Too much to NOT miss!
Ah,the living Hell of Maths.The cliques. The exam pressures. The terrors of Report time!

I tend to find most people my age (40),who have rosy memories of "The Good Old Days" either have very selective memories or are just forgetful of their past Howlers! ;)

Good Luck to all examinees of today!
Hope you achieve everything you need the grades for! :D

Here is a message from your future, enjoy the AP's because it will seem a pleasure compared to a Graduate thesis.

How many hours, how many pots of coffee and how many smokes have I gone through to write mine? Too many, I went without the sun for two months and I wasted a great summer. Enjoy your time now and enjoy every minute of college when you get there. Even when you are finishing off a warm glass of rum and coke in a trashed common room watching "Iron Chef" at 4:00 in the morning. Ahh, getting all misty eyed now.

True. --*If* you know the material well. If you don't, you're better off taking the course again in college. There's nothing like taking a course you think you're ready for and learning the hard way you're *not*.

Yes, I speak from experience. English, no problem. Math, well... Let's just say what I learned wasn't what I needed to know. I discovered the hard way I needed to take Pre-calculus at college level. After my ego stopped smarting I was quite glad I did it. --In fact I went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics.
