ACT/SAT scores are the great equalizers...regardless of class rank.

Actually he did not test well at first. After a couple of times he turned it around and scored pretty well.

It was an AP course, Calc BC. There was no such thing as regular Calc when I was in HS

If it's on your transcript as AP calc and you took the AP exam, then it will be on your transcript....Weird that they didn't give you extra quality points.

we took the AB and BC exams, but nobody required it. We all just did it to clep first year calc if we wanted. Just meant we got to go straight to Diff Eqs first semester of college.

you weren't required to take the AP exam for any AP class but it prepared you for it.

we didn't have weighted GPA's so there were no extra points. Still not sure if Knoxville schools have them. I wasn't worried since I did very well on the Calc AP test.

After my attempt at being Fez fell on deaf ears, I had to take a different tack. I have no idea what Diff Eqs means.
