Us....ehhhhh he tried to help but more with the writing portions (which I think I nailed), he would always grade DBQs tough same with FRQs. he prepared is well for those. multiple choice that was always the concern for me, and I think that's where i sucked. English the teacher was great almost all his students got 5s the past two years and the others got fours. His track record was excellent and he was a great teacher, not sure how I pulled that choke job.
That sucks. At least they did a solid job preparing you.

for us Macro is first semester and gov is second
I had gov first and micro second. After seeing what the two tests are like, I like it that way. I would have probably gotten a 3 or lower if micro had been in the fall.

Yea you might want to refresh on the material before the test. I dont know how hard the macro test is though, and again it also depends on the preparation through the class.

See the reason I don't remember is that I never took macro lol. So I'm honestly not sure. It may very well have been a semester class.

We did a lot of reviewing in class, so I never really went to study sessions. But ya, it would be a good idea to take advantage of those. We were supposed to have a mandatory one for calc but it got cancelled(or I think moved into a class day rather than it being after school). I went to one for gov, but that was only because I seriously needed a refresher and it was a late arrival day because of TAKS testing(standardized state testing that seniors dont have to take).

I wouldn't fret on the AP credit that much. Worst comes to worst, just take some classes at your local community college over the summer. They'll be far easier and much cheaper than taking them at university. Imo having a few easy geneds to fill out the last few hours in your schedule is always nice. That way you're not so overloaded with core coursework that you feel overwhelmed. When you get to college you'll find out what I mean lol.

Went bowling today for the first time in like a year or two. I am usually pretty terrible but I mustered up a 102. Not bad, considering I started off with 21 through the first four frames. Then I got two strikes in a row, and went off from there.

The last time I went bowling, I made my nephew puke.
He was using a house ball, and had a little blister form on his thumb.
I started going on and on about how scores of people every week use these balls, a lot of them probably have blisters form and burst just like his.
Then I explained that his open wound was being repeatedly thrust in to a soupy mess of the pus and blood drippings of hundreds of people, and he probably has hepatitis A-Z along with a myriad of never before seen diseases.
Puked up his nachos right back in to the little container they came in.
