[attention whoring] Another announcement

[RIP Robert H Bork]

What is the AP ?

Advanced Placement.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Speaking about grades, it was yesterday the ceremony with Luc Châtel of which I spoke about Antonio, and apparently it wasn't at Sorbonne, but anyhow it was for those who got...20/20! (or more with some options). 31 managed it all over France.

You loser with 18.32!

Oh sh*t. I'd have enjoyed to be invited at this kind of ceremony, I'm very emotional... Life's unfair.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

5 in AP World! (because I didn't get enough attention in the other thread )

Nice dude

Got a 5 in AP Euro - one of 12 kids who took the class in my school

Same here, back in 2008.

Well, to conclude with this series of updates, I've just been officially admitted at Sciences-Po. I didn't have so much doubt after my bac results, but damn, this is pretty damn good news... I feel glad as I've almost never been...

(AP scores are scaled so that the bottom 20% of test takers get a 1, second quintile gets a 2, and so on, so that means that there are at least 20% of people Xahar's age that test better on Euro History than Xahar)

No, actually; it depends on the test.  It's somewhere south of 10% of students that get a 5 on the AP Spanish test, for example, while for some of the math tests it's closer to 40%.

That's right. In 2009, as far as the math tests are concerned, over 40% of students got a 5 on Calculus BC, and over 50% of those students got a 5 on the AB subscore.
