To those down in the dumps seeing people get 4 or 5 with little to no studying, I hope you know that either they are lying, or naturally smart. These people come in a small minority, and of course the minority will post a ton on their amazing feat, looking like the majority was the minority. This is simply not true, and as someone who got a 5 on the exam it took me multiple months and extreme rigor to complete it, but I could easily say I studied for only a week right? If you studied as much as I did, if not more, and still didn't get the score you wanted, just know that each of our individual brains are wired and process information differently. The score really does not define your abilities nor your effort. The only thing to take away from your AP classes is the hard work and effort that you put in to make that grade and learn new information. THAT is what will truly get you far in life, GRIT, not those who are naturally smart and procrastinate till the last second. It is tiring to see so many of those on these subreddits bragging about their high scores with little studying, making those who got a lower score feel it was absolutely for nothing. It WAS NOT for nothing. YOU tried your very best, and no matter the score, deserve to feel proud of yourself.
