isteve Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) 75% But I was to lazy to read the 13 original states and went with the default C. And had no clue about the voting amendments. I guess that makes me a true american. Edited July 6, 2006 by isteve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxkbxx Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 100%, but I just took the AP US History test Still awaiting results by mail (that's a different story though - you pay close to $90 to take the test, then you can pay an optional $8 and phone in for your grades in late June, friggen scam) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blim Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 XX, do you get College credit for a History course if you pass the AP test? That's how it works in Michigan. If so, $90 is a bargain as most History courses are 3 credits, figuring $60 a credit at a Community College, more at the Universities. Hoping you pass with flying colors!Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 You answered 60% of questions correctly. Here's your rating: ... Thank you! With all the 90's and 100's I was feeling a little low. Like another poster I blew off a couple questions (kept reading & re-reading the list of original colonies til they all looked the same, for example). That's my excuse anyhow. I am thoroughly impressed with all the high scores. As the test site states, they culled the TOUGHEST questions from the available ones (Umm, thirteen stripes was tough? What they stood for was tough?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
