   [java] Computer Science AB exam scores....
  What did everybody get on the AB exam? (or if you took the A exam, what did you get on that) I got a 5, but I'm very interested to see how other people did. :)   
  I took the A; got a five.  I thought it was easy, barring a couple of picky questions.  Congrats on your five, bballmitch.   ;  I got a 4 on the AB a year ago, but I'd like to point out that I didn't know it was on data structures until I had it sitting in front of me. They don't offer a class for the AB test in my state (West Virginia sucks, yes I know). It was pretty funny though when I was scheduling for college and handed the head of compsci my scores and he didn't know what classes that test counted for. I still got put in data structures :(, oh well,6 credits and an easy A, how can I complain?   ;  I've asked before, but was always ignored. What are the AB exams? When I was in school (late nineties), we didn't have any thing that sounds like what you all are taking. Maybe it's because I'm in the midwest...   ;  WhackJack, we're talking about the AP (Advanced Placement?) Computer Science tests.  An AP class is taken in high school and supposedly taught at college level.  The whole thing is run by CollegeBoard, and depending on what you make on the test, (1-5, 5 being the highest) you can get college credit for the course.  The A and AB refer to the two levels, A is the first and AB builds on it.   ;  The "AB Exam" is referring the AP computer science AB test which usually counts for two computer science courses if you score high. There is also an A which counts for one college course of computer science. The tests are in java and are supposed to cover the same material as introductory computer science courses. AB also has alot of material on data structures.edit: got distracted and 101010 beat me to the post   ;  I got a 4 on the AB...lots of questions about data structures (great since my teacher didn't actually teach them...)   ;  I got a 3. At the time, I went in with only a faint understanding of pointers and all I remember was an endless stream of questions on how to write function X for a linked list =-(I got out of a 100-level programming class though, and got an A in the second semester of the class.   ;  I got a 3 (this year's AB).  It wasnt that I didnt/dont understand the content... it was just that I didnt have time to finish. lol   ;Quote:Original post by 101010An AP class is taken in high school and supposedly taught at college level.How does one sign up for these classes? I'm in high school, but have never heard it mentioned except for on Gamedev.net. I didn't realize it was for high school students. Is this something that maybe goes on over the summer?
