Man, this thread is making me feel old. My AP-test taking days are done, unfortunately. I summed up my experiences in another thread:
Sophomore Year:
Biology -- 4
Junior Year -- got results this weekend:
Chemistry -- 2 consider this to be a personal failure
European History (self-studying) -- 4
Statistics -- 4
World History (self-studying) -- 4
U.S. Government -- 5
Senior Year:
Intend to take, with the school, Calculus AB, English Literature, Environmental Science, Physics 1, Spanish Language. Intend to take, online, Macroeconomics & Microeconomics. Intend to self-study Comparative Government, Human Geography, and U.S. History. Not sure how I intend to survive taking 10 AP tests in a year.
Only voted for the ones I've taken, since the senior year itinerary is still kind of flexible.

So, yeah. I did that, exactly as I described in the post. It involved a great many sleepless nights and a good deal of stress. I did not manage to pass 10 AP tests in a single year, but I did get through 8 of those, which combined with the ones I took earlier means this August I will start at OSU with 60 credits, or as a junior (Rank 3).
These were my scores (just from senior year):
Calculus AB - 3
English Literature - 5
Environmental Science - 4
Physics 1 - 2
Spanish Language - 5
Macroeconomics - 2 cue the jokes about my political views making this result inevitable
Microeconomics - 3
Comparative Government - 5
Human Geography - 5
U.S. History - 5
Note the dates on those posts; I graduated from high school in the Class of 2015. Since then I've taken some of OSU's "EM" tests, which are specific to our university; I took a Biology test that gave me credit as if I'd received a 5 on AP Bio, and language placement tests for Russian (equivalent of a 5 on AP, though there is no AP Russian) and Latin (equivalent of a 3, which I was quite proud of since I only ever made it through Honors Latin II in high school).
The various AP classes I was in, and some preparing for tests on my own time, were a massive part of my life for 3 years, and they've given me a very large leg up over my fellow Class of 2019 college graduates; I'm intensely thankful for the amount of options my high school gave me and remember it very fondly.
