I wish I would have taken the AP environmental studies test, I could have aced that thing backwards even without having taken the class. Everything I've heard leads me to believe that it's AP minus. So between what I learned in AP bio, marine bio, and what I already know, I probably could have done it fairly easily.

I hate the AP system. It leads to a lot of things that aren't the intended points. It'd dictated by a FOR PROFIT company, so when they aren't busy charging your pants off of you, they're making classes study material which is in many cases USELESS. The things we need to learn for Econ are covered within about the first week of any college level econ class. I'm not saying that they should be harder, but something's not right there, they're having us learn a lot of "memorize this" information, it would seem.

In any case, I see what you're saying about the College Board (that's right, the same people who do the AP tests do the SATs- these people are good at manipulation!) and I agree. However, I do enjoy the rigour of some of the AP classes, so I take them anyway. If my school didn't -idiotically- force students to take the AP test if they're in an AP class, there would be times when I wouldn't have.
In ANY case: Calculus is out of the way. T'was an ugly test.
