Also if you're taking Physics C you probably got a 4/5 on Physics 1, so that boosts the score a lot too.

I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, but just to clarify -- the high pass rate isn't because of the low thresholds for higher scores. The reason you only need a 50% on the Physics C test to get a 5 is because the test is so difficult. That doesn't mean it's "easier" to get a 5 on Physics C -- the threshold for a 5 is lower specifically because the test is harder. The point of putting the threshold there is to account for difficulty. In some sense, the idea would be that it's about as hard to get 50% (or whatever the exact threshold is) on the Physics C test as it is to get, say, a 70% on the AP Enviro test. I would guess that the reason the pass rate is higher for Physics C is because the course is known to be difficult, and is thus taken by students who are generally more adept at physics.

yeah and i got a 4 LMAO pain that class was so hard

@@neerajgogate491 it's probably also the extra year covering virtually the same material but adding in some basic calculus. -someone who went from a 3 to a 5 from physics 1 to physics c

Wait, are you serious? I’m gonna take Physics C: E&M this year. I’ve never taken any AP physics classes before so hopefully it’s not too bad.

also most people who take art and design are usually people who are pretty good at art so it makes sense that the pass rates for those are so high.

i can very much testify to this. i am in calc BC rn solely because my school had no idea what was happening to student schedules and its been the hardest time ive ever had in math thus far

I wanted to take BC but my district doesn’t offer it at any of our high schools

Yeah aint no way calc bc is that high up

I thought Stats would be higher though

What are u sayin

Left more than half of the test blank and got a 4. Definitely thought I'd be getting a 1 or 2. Came as a huge shock when I checked my scores yesterday lol. I can imagine that it's the hardest test judging by purely what I experienced.

Physics 1 is the lowest because all of the students that would be confident enough take physics C

I got a 1

Thats bad. Get 5

@Victor Saliba I hope you are kidding and just making a not-so-funny joke. If not, screw you. Chemistry is one of the hardest AP classes. Only 11% of people get a five. And before you start trashing me(again, if this wasn't just a dumb joke) I got a five on my Chemistry exam, along with my BC Calculus and Language and Composition tests. I got a four on APUSH despite my SAQs being on topics my teacher didn't cover. So I am exceptionally smart, and Chemistry was still difficult for me. If you got a five, great. But if you haven't taken the class and the AP test, don't be talking trash. And once again, if this was a joke, it was kind of lame and not funny at all. Just let people be happy.

Calculus is high school stuff tf you on about

@@frederikbrandt424 what lol

@@frederikbrandt424 Most students actually don’t take Calc until college, at least where I’m from. Usually people take Algebras 1 and 2, Geometry, and Trig/Precalc.

Well those tests are harder so it evens out

Notice how the non calc based physics has a lower passing rate than the calc based one. Typically people who take those classes (excluding chemstry) aren’t the best at high level math. Calc BC for example is Calc AB + extra material, yet nearly has one of the highest passing rates. In my opinion, from what I see some people test out Calc with AB, and then those who do good complete BC, hence the high pass rate. The rest of the people just don’t understand it. A lot of those classes there are you understand it or you don’t. Add the fact that most of those are easier variations of other classes so students who don’t wanna challenge themselves as much are there.

5 on AP psych. But I'm also pretty passionate about psychology so I'm sure that had something to do with it

Take care of Euro. It is a different animal

my brother told me not to take ap euro bc it absolutely killed him. he said he had more homework and studying in that one class than all of his others combined. he went to an extremely rigorous school though so it’s probably not as bad in other schools. good luck!

Lang was lowest 5 rate of any exam

@@connorlea9535 Probably because of how subjective the grading is

@@connorlea9535 I got a C average in the class and pulled out a 5 😭

I also did not pass AP Chem last year. I did struggle in the class, but managed to get an A by the end of the semester, which I feel good about. But sadly, I didn't study enough for the exam, since I prioritized AP Psych in particular.

@@irena1222 Nice. I passed with a B, and had B’s in almost every class. I barely pulled the B in AP Spanish, but got a 5 on the AP test. I’m taking psych this year! It’s fun so far but I have 60 flash cards due in two days 😂

I never took AP classes, because I just did dual enrollment instead, but I am a Chem E. major and I’ll say this: Chemistry is hard. Chemistry is not a subject where you can slack off and cram for everything the night before an exam, trust me, I’ve tried. Much like a fine art like Painting, you can’t expect to pick it up and do it perfectly on the first time. Chemistry takes several hours of studying and practice, but like with Painting, you’ll feel so proud after mastering it, even if it takes a few mistakes to get there

Lmfao who even studies.

same!! good luck to the both of us next year :)))

I took AP Human-Geography last year. Yes, the class was easy and so were the tests. I didn’t think I’d do great from low self-confidence, but I wasn’t wrong. The exam is nothing like the actual class. There were about 60 questions for me and 3 frqs. Literally, half of what you learn in the class doesn’t matter on the exam. It basically takes one section out of all the things we learned and focused on that. The only thing you need to worry about are remembering vocabulary, maps, and countries. If you know that, you have a good chance of passing, but from someone who failed mine (I got a 2), good luck.

@@phataskitty5740 thanks for the advice!! i’m not doing too well with my grade because my teacher has pretty harsh late penalties, but i’ve been able to remember most of the things you listed pretty well so far. Now I know what to focus on even more :)

it’s bc human geography is relatively easy so the scoring curve is a lot less dramatic in comparison to something like Calc bc. and it’s also a lot of ppls first APs! I got a 5 on my aphg exam and honestly yeah the exam is completely different from whatever you do in class. Id recommend using old practice exams from collegeboard website to practice taking the exam/study how they write their questions. They also release student samples from previous frqs if you want to study those too!

@@yoyo-bc6tb Thanks, that’s all super helpful !!

@@vlc-cosplayer no exams?

Lot of my friends had that feeling that they failed but they ended up getting 5s

How was Statistics and English lit and environmental science? I'm thinking about taking English lit and currently taking environmental science

@@StarShiningSiriusI would recommend taking English lit. It was one of the easier (not necessarily easy, but easier) AP Classes and I felt fairly prepared for the test. I didn’t love my teacher I got, but the actual class itself was pretty good. Stats was harder and required more brain power, but if you are usually good in math you should be able to handle it. Make sure you take notes in Stats though, friends notes don’t work as well for that class. :)

It’s very passable - it only fails a lot because: 1. It’s pretty hard 2. A lot of people take it as Freshman You can prepare and do very well

Ask your counselor about it and see if you're eligible! :)

Idk how testing works this year but fyi i was lucky to pass because the online test the first year of lockdown was easier. If we go back to the normal test, be prepared because you will have to (more or less) memorize 250 works of art, title, date, background information included (and with little continuity between the pieces).

I know this is an old comment but also there’s often a chance to “drop out” of an AP like AP art very late in the game which is why people who follow through are probably less likely to fail.
