S - M - R - T! I am so smart!
So, there's this organization for my work that I'm supposed to join, and one of the things you have to have is a course in micro and macro economics in order to join. Me, I was too busy taking math, computer science, and art history courses in college to ever take a boring econ course. However, I read through the fine lines, and it appears if I can prove I took the AP Micro and Macro-econ exams and got at least a 4 on both of them, then I can qualify for the educational credit.

So, there's a lot of back-and-forth between me and my high school, since I thought they might have had my test scores on record. Long story short, I had to contact The College Board and request a transcript of my AP scores that I took seven years ago. They had to extract the scores from some archive since I had passed the four year threshold.

Anyways, so I finally get a copy of my scores yesterday. And I totally forgot how goddamn smart I am! I took 12 AP Exams in high school (grade 11 and 12) and got eleven 5s and one 4! I also received an AP National Scholar with Distinction award.

Add to the 3 subsidiary exams for International Baccalaureate, and 3 Higher Level exams (2 part exams, each part 4 hours) and me getting all 7s on those (I got in the newspaper because apparantly it's a challenge to get just one 7, and I got 6 of them) and I was one SMRT nerd!

No wonder all the colleges wanted me. :)

I know I'm bragging, but seeing these scores that I forgot, I know if I heard someone else do that today, I'd be pretty amazed.

Jesus. I took 2 AP tests and got a 3 on both. I guess you really are more Asian than I am. =P

Haha, like I said, you put in a good fight, I'm sure *much* more than any outside observer would have guessed. If there were odds in Vegas on this, I'm sure you'd beat the odds. :)

I took the psych, government, econ, english, and history. I passed them all. I shoulda done the biology but I missed my change sophomore year.

My little bro already took 6 and the SAT's and scored a 1310 the first time. And he's a fucking junior.

My twelve exams were:
Spanish Language

English Lit
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Calculus BC
U.S. History
European History
Environmental Science
Biology
Chemistry
Psychology

My IB exams were:
SL Chemistry
SL Spanish
SL Economics
HL European History
HL English
HL Math

Yeah, I took my SATs when I was a junior too. I got a 14 hundred something... I think by the time I was applying to college I got it up to a 1560 or 70 or somesuch... don't really remember, but it was around there.

Lemme think... SAT 2s - I got an 800 on math, a 790 on writing, and a 770 on chemistry, and a 760 on U.S. History. (MIT required you to take a science so I ended up taking chemistry after I was happy with my 3 other scores).

I remember, I got a perfect score on the ACT exam, which won me a couple scholarships.

How the hell was I able to do that?! I can barely handle one job nowadays.

You got a 15 60 or something-- a perfect is 1600. Each question is 10 points. So you missed 4 questions on the entire SAT???
