This must be an all time low, as survey questions go... Isn't this suposed to be an 'International calculator site', not an 'American highschool calculator site' . The server is located in Sweden and has a lot of swedes visiting, but you don't se Magnus adding questions about the swedish 'Högskoleprovet' , do you? Väx up, för fan!

That's probably why the "I didn't or won't ever take AP tests" option is currently "in the lead" :-)

BTW, you are always welcome to mail suggestions for surveys to survey@ticalc.org. Of course, we can't guarantee that it will be up, but we'll consider it.

Oh, and I'm convinved this survey was posted right now just because Henrik is on vacation :-)

Jag håller med. Trots att jag är själv amerikansk, jag blir trött av att många verkar tycka att USA är det enda landet som räknar. (Jag ber om ursäkt om min svenska är lite fel. Klockan är halv fyra på natten och svenska är inte min modersmål)

I agree. Although I am myself American, I as tired of many Americans' seeming to think that the USA is the only country that counts. (I apologize if my Swedish is a little wrong. It's 3:30a.m. and Swedish is not my native language)

You just did the 'how old are you' survey, and unless I'm mistaken most people weren't AP level. Furthermore there should be a 'I don't know' option.

You don't know your AP test average? You should really find out. There are scholarships you can apply for if the average is high enough.

maybe I don't know what's an AP test. Nick told me the other day... I can't say nothing except

congratulations for those who got good scores !
Education makes the master. that's primary in life

Im just an idiot but could some one tell me what the heck is an ap test and dos it have any thing to do with calcs. cuz i dont think it dos.

An AP (Advanced Placement) test is a special test by the College Board (same guys who bring you the SAT) that allows you to get credit for college classes without taking them. Since you'd use your graphing calculator on the calculus test (it's required) this poll is perfect for a site about graphing calculators. (After all, math is what calculators are made for, as some people seem to forget sometimes)

No it is NOT perfect. There are other users of calculators than american highschool students.

Väx upp, för fan!

I am always to find out how many AP classes there are that my school does not offer. I'm taking three AP classes next year (Biology, American History, and English III) and four more my senior year (Government, English IV, Physics and Enviromenta). Those about all the AP courses they offer at my school.

Huh?
AP scores?
Grr... egocentric US inhabitants! Just because 90% of you are from the US doesn't give you the right to ask questions like that! I spit in your general direction!
I vote all us european types make a hostile takeover of TiCalc.org and turn it into a /truly/ international site (multiple languages, all badly translated, dodgy grammar, unfunny jokes, friction between members... maybe not then)... then the TI Community can expand!
Up The Revolution!
And if you delete this post, I'm gonna KILL YOU! ;) It's a valid, if OTT, point...

tell this to me.. I'm south american...

hehe, and I remember what the Oasis' singer said in celebrity deathmatch:
"Stupid yankees, you can kiss my a**".... " But don't foget to buy my albums"
;-)

LOL
Perhaps.
But I reckon the rest of the world has some good artists too. Just... not in the same quantities as the US does.
"Stupid yankees!"

You want badly translated dodgy grammar? Just hire SNK to do the site.

VICTOLY!!!

No! Babelfish is the best for terrible translations! My brother, who's web site I can't remember (sad, isn't it?) took one of his pages, translated it into French, back to English, German, English, and so on for all the languages. It was funny.

I used babelfish to translate your post from English to French to German to English:

Not! Babelfish is that best for terrible translations! My brother, the location Web is I not to remember cannot (regret-worth is not it?) one from their pages took it translated into French again at the English, German, of English and and so on for all languages. It was strange.

Don't forget the "Parental Advisoly" messages on most SNK games!!

It's important to ask specific questions sometimes that apply to only certain people (eg. people who take AP courses). Also AP courses are for anyone who is willing to take them on. There is no law that states that only Americans can take them. This survey is made for AP students and for their benefit. If you don't like the survey, then don't participate.
BTW I'm 100% czech. born and raised there...

Well, as of 12:07 pm EST, I was the only person with the 1 or 2 answer. How prud my parents were to have paid for me to take that test...

I only took one AP exam, the AP CS Exam, and got a 5... anyone else get a 5?

I took AP Computer Science A, got a 5.

Scores:
AP Comp. Sci. - 5
AP Calculus BC - 5
AP History - 3
AP Statistics - 4
AP Physics - 3
(In physics the teacher hardly had us do ANYTHING, just mostly told submarine stories. I'm glad I passed)

My scores are better:

1999 AP Calculus BC - 5
1999 AP Cal AB subscore - 5
1999 AP English Lang. and Comp. - 3 :(
2000 AP Chemistry - 5
2000 AP Computer Science A - 5
2000 AP Macroeconomics - 5
2000 AP Statistics - 5
2000 AP U.S. Govt. and Politics - 5

You are my hero!!! When are they awarding you the Nobel Prize in taking AP tests.

Oh yeah, I forgot, my Calculus AB subscore was 5 too, and the only score I see better than mine, is Statistics, by 1 point. Had I taken Macroeconomics, Goverment, English, Chemistry... I would have had a lot more homework last year! As it was, I did NONE.

I wasn't comparing it on a test-by-test basis; I was referring to our overall scores. Since we both took mostly math/science tests, I think it's a fair comparison.

And, what was your ACT/SAT Scores?

I took the Chemistry exam and got a 5, I wasn't expecting a 5... I guess the essays were eaiser than I thought.
