#2: I Passed!


Hey hey hey yall! Guess what? Yesterday, I got my test results back from Collegeboard. I took the AP English 11 Exam in May, and I passed! I got a 3!
If you don't know, that's a good score. According to Collegeboard's AP Central, "The end product of the AP Exams are the AP grades that are reported to students, their schools, and their designated colleges in July. The colleges use these grades as evidence of the students' abilities and achievements when they make their decisions regarding whether or not to grant credit and/or advanced placement."

The AP grade scale ranges from 5 to 1.
5 = Extremely well qualified
4 = Well qualified
3 = Qualified
2 = Possibly Qualified
1 = Not recommendation

So as you can see, in AP English 11, I'm qualified! lol. But forreal, this came as a real surprise to me. I didn't think that I was going to pass. The exam was 5 hours long, and there were 3 essays in addition to multiple choice. I felt like I only did good on 1 of the essays, so I thought I wasn't going to pass. But as you can see, as a pleasant surprise, I passed. And since I passed, depending on what college I go to, if they accept AP Exam scores as college credit, I won't have to take English as a freshman :)
