For anyone who has graduated high school, can you write the score you received on your AP tests and the college you will/are attending? Also, just wondering, are APs REALLY stressful (as many people claim they are ...)? Thanks!

AP's - Bio, US History, World History, Chemistry, Physics B, Calc BC, English Lit - 5, Spanish Language - 4 (which was a miracle in itself).

College - Yale.

They can be stressful if they're real classes and not a joke like in some places. They're real when the AP test is a joke because the class was so hard (ie, my Bio class).

The tests or the classes? My Bio and Chem classes were really hard, so the tests were really easy. I self-studied Calc, since my school doesn't offer it, but out of all of them, that was the easiest test. We didn't finish the Physics curriculum, and I didn't really have a Spanish class (the 5 of us just sat in the back of the room and got yelled at for not learning it ourselves and didn't learn vocab at all), so after those tests, I thought I did horribly.

Of course, these results will vary from whatever your experience will be.

I don't think the classes are really stressful- but when it gets around the 2 week testing period it can be really stressful- esp if you are taking multiple tests

The tests really vary - the 1998 chem AP was the hardest in 20 years. When my classmates left, they were nearly crying; my AP chem teacher (over 20 years experience) said he had not seen anything like it. Granted, the College Board tries to keep the tests consistent, but things like that happen.
