OF COURSE PASSING AP/IB TEST IS THE WAY TO GO! BUT IF YOU FAIL LIFE IS NOT OVER!!!!!
I am aware that AP and IB test scores were recently released! Now this might be amazing for those of you that passed. However, not every student passes which means a lot of students deal with anxiety or fear over the results. Students might think that life is over because they did bad in a test but that is far from the truth! Reality is we live in a system where we are pressured to do great in these AP and IB exams and when we fail, we feel let down. However, in this video I will tell you the TRUTH about scores and how they really matter.
Basics of an AP/IB Class: It is like another class except you put in more effort. The content is harder and the workload is heavier. At the end of the year, you take a final AP or Ib Exam. If you pass the exam you get a college credit, if you fail the exam you get nothing.
Here are some of my views on why scores are not so important (Please keep in mind ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST AND TRY TO PAST! The benefits can be huge!! However, it is not the end of the world if you don’t!!)
1. A lot of AP/IB classes we take in high school are classes that we will never take again in college. Sometimes we are forced to take upper level classes in high school that have nothing to do with our personal interest in college. So what you got a 5 in AP European History? How would you benefit if you are never going to take another European history class ever again in your life? Get the picture?
2. Some colleges only accept high scores. If you get a 3 lets say, some colleges will not even accept that so even though technically you got the credit, why does it matter if you can’t even use it?
3. You might want to re-do a class in college to actually learn something. You might be better off not even transferring AP or IB credits if you feel you might get too challenged by a higher level course in college. Sure you might of been able to ease your way to a 4, but does that really mean you know the content?

Hi, my name is Daniel Rodriguez and I am a freshman at the University of Miami. The purpose of this channel is to prove HOW YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL. My channel mainly revolves around school and lifestyle videos. In these videos I talk and give advice on certain topics regarding not only college, but high school as well. In addition, I like to show my life through videos. I do personal vlogs where I show off my life and try to make it the best it can be. Lastly my channel also contains some of my travel experiences. Keep in mind that while I record all these videos, have fun in my vlogs, and explore the world, I am a student above all.
Here I am watching this after failing my ap bio exam
haha not like it matters ;)
Lmao
Well 20 years after high school AP classes won’t even matter to people
Thank you for this encouraging video. I didn't get the score I wanted on my AP Bio exam but I really wanted to because I'm majoring in Biology this fall and I tried really hard and studied for the exam. You helped me realize that not passing an exam isn't the end of the world.
lmfao i just failed all of my APs so-- now i’m here 😍
I FAILED ENGLISH😹
Literally same 😩
LMAO same
I failed world history, I was sure I passed, probably college board just hates everyone from my class cuz almost everyone got 2😭😭😭😭 now I feel depressed
same💀
I didnt even register for my Exam on accident so yeah, Im doing really great
you got this!
Thank you so much Danny, your information made me feel so much better. Gladly appreciate it.
Glad I can help :)
i’m almost 100% i am not going to pass the APWH test and i’ve come to terms with this because first of all paying attention to lectures at home is difficult and 2nd because we still haven’t even gone over an LEQ💀💀
That’s exactly how I am rn fuck this 🤣
me rn
My AP US Gov teacher didn't go over the format of the exam at all this year. All he did was play news clips in class and assign some basic fill in the blank questions from our book for homework. Didn't go over any lessons in class. Barely even practiced the multiple choice and never practiced the FRQs or the essay. He even said that he's not familiar with the format of the exam. Wtf. He pretty much left the class having to self study now. Probably the most useless AP teacher I've had. I got lucky with APUSH last year because I had a teacher who actually practiced the exam which ended up being just one DBQ essay, but I'm pretty worried about the AP US Gov exam this year. Definitely would've felt a lot more confident with a competent teacher. Smh.
literally the same but apush
no worries! life goes on !
Thanks for the motivating video! I got my IB Diploma and my university will give me 30 credits (1 year of university)! :)
Yo thank you man for the clarity. I don’t want to put pressure on my brain for something I solely took for the experience and (potential growth). I love when students support each other!
i have my ap euro tmr. didnt learn anything the entire year. let’s see how this goes
How’d it go
Bruh
They mattered until I realized grad schools don't take high school ap courses so I'm gonna have to retake them now in college rippppp
I know it's been a long time, but how did that go/how has it been going
@@tallbeanerboi6915 I’m flattered you’re interested, but I’m not going to grad school anymore (as of now) lol. I’m teaching abroad after university instead and I’m really happy with that goal 😊
i got a 2 on my first ap exam and i cried 4 times because of it and it hasn’t even been 2 days. thank you for this.
I got 2 too, and I can’t believe I did because I studied really hard for world history, I just don’t understand how I didn’t pass because exam was easy…I have no idea if college board does some things there…
@@chanbaek_minions i feel you, except that i took the ap psych exam instead of the ap world one. i’m so sorry for you, and i studied for a while as well and got some of the questions correct, so i started to feel hopeless. it’s as if i’ve worked so hard for my first ap for noting, making me even more nervous since eventually i have to take two more next year.
do not let an exam ruin you!
@@ItsDanny123 i’m doing my best not to! in fact, it motivated me to study 10x harder for the ap lang exam i have to take this year. even my ap psych teacher said many of the questions were unexpected when i visited her, which surprised me too.
Does being in IB help colleges notice you?Or increase your chance of getting a scholarship?
I’m taking the ap computer science principles exam and I forgot to do the create task🗿
M50 :)
Lmao😂😂😂😂 how did you even-
What happens if we fail an ap test? What do we do then?
nothing, you just dont get the credit
I'm gonna be a junior this fall. Freshman year I took no pre-ap or AP classes and got A's all year in every class, so I decided to take 2 pre-ap classes and WHAP, WHAP was pretty tuff I had a B for most of the year and was lucky that wasn't a C and got a 2 on the AP exam so I decided not to take APUSH next year lol, but i feel like colleges won't be impressed if I get an A in on level USH but will that effect on of I go to U of Miami or not?
im a freshman and i took two ap classes: ap human and ap psychology. unfortunately i got a two on both of the exams and i am planning on going to UF, would it affect my acceptance?
Not really. In fact it would help since you did a strong course work!
Yo I'm subscribing hope you make more content about college because honestly, people have a huge idea of college being heaven once you're in but during your courses, it may not be what you wanted at the long run
100% agreed!
If we fail our AP exam will the college we apply to see that grade for the exam?
not if you don't submit it
but i did dual enrollment and did great in those classes
AP is better
im so glad u mentioned the apush thing. I have the test tmrw and havnt reviewed at all because I feel like it doesn’t matter so u just reassured me. just gonna go to bed and wing it i guess🥳
your so scores appear on your transcript so if you apply for college and they see that you didn’t pass do they find you unappealing
Now I am just taking courses that would benefit me, but plan to take subject sat test in the area of study I want to confirm to colleges I am interested in.
I’m watching these two days before my AP Euro Test, and the night before my FSA lol... Help!
haha best of luck, hope it went well!
Sir I have completed my bsc mathematics honours and I want to take admission into Mit for my undergraduate aerospace engineering but my high school GPA is 3.0 which is not a good. Is it possible to get admission in Mit if I will score perfect in sat exam and sat subject test plz reply sir
I’m doing my first ap class and i’m stressed. This is the hardest thing i have done and i’m really worrying about my exam. I’m taking APUSH and i’m wondering if most colleges even require APUSH? Does anyone know?
not really, it depends on your major!
It may be required if it's required for general education. Depends on college.
But they do matter when applying to colleges being able to show you can master college level material as a high schooler can really help you to get into schools when applying
yes ofc. My main message is that it would obviously be a great thing to pass! But if you don't its not the end of the world so do not panic :)
Hi, question..
If I get a low grade in my AP final exam, I won’t get the credit. Do I still get the GPA points for it? In my school we get 3 points for AP classes. Thanks!
Yes. Ap exam scores don’t effect your class grade nor your GPA.
Yes, absolutely
So, let’s say I don’t pass my IB exam will that affect me for college? If I fail will it affect the high school grade I got in class? If i fail I just wont get college credit for it correct?
correct!
I’m so mad cuz in ap computer since there was a project I did that was linked to my ap exam and I got a 100 on it and didn’t turn it in properly. Meaning that 30% of my points in the exam will be deducted 😪
:(
how about the actual class grade? Im not failing but its not good compared to the other classes
as long as you grind through it, you should be good!
@@ItsDanny123 alright
Thank you 🙏

Here when I said not paying for a shit ap exam with a high chance of me failing
