i have to get a 5 on the AP exam for my offer to UCL...don't think i'll be able to pull it off..

I took AP BC Calculus.

For AP BC Calc, I think like 80% of the students pass because those who take it are generally good at math and have good teachers.

for BC Calc, you can definitely skip a free response question and get a 5.

So. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you learn all the material and take some practice tests.

If you're offer is for AB Calc, the same rule applies - probably.

Yes me too, I'm going to get a bad grade in my chemistry class most likely and I don't even care

Does Edinburgh really not base it that much on your grades? I'm trying to figure out what will determine me getting an offer now haha

I took AB Calc. The test is quite difficult, but its not hard to get a 5. I studied a ridiculous amount but completely messed up one free response and still got a 5. Just make sure before you take the test that you actually KNOW how to do calculus. That sounds silly, but many people in my class got 2s and 3s because they had memorized all the rules (product rule, quotient rule, l'hopital's rule) but didn't actually know how to perform calculus because they had little practice at actually manipulating the concepts. If you know how to do calculus, you'll be fine.

I just got an email from Balliol asking me, since I'm an international student, if I could attend an interview AT oxford if I was invited (Though they made very clear that it was not actually an invitation!)

They're raising my hopes just to probably dash them! *goes insane* !

Did anyone else get one of these?
