Honestly congrats to you! 🥳
At this point you don’t need to go to Harvard, Harvard needs to come to you!
Haha thank you so much!
okay aside from the fact your scores are INSANE, I just wanna say you just give off the best vibes omg. what is your Instagram?
Omg really? Thank you so much! I never post on insta, but it’s zacharymccormick3
Mines is Kay0riouss._
bro gets bitches off an AP score reveal what
rizz
@@jesseham744 Ong bro
Look at all those 5's! Damn Zachary, you're a smartie. ❤
Haha thanks so much!
wow i’m watching this as a freshman and i took ap human geography this year. i just took the exam today and let me say i’m not feeling too great about it but only because i’m still a little overwhelmed. but let me tell you this video gave me all the confirmation i needed to know that i can flourish in my future ap classes. 10 is ALOT! but you really just showed everyone that it can be done and done successfully. and wow you’re scores were amazing!
^^ thank you for this gem of a video
That means a lot! Thank you so much! And just so you're aware, even if you were to get a cumulative score of around 62% on the HuG Exam, that should roughly equivalate to the minimum score needed to earn a 5 on the exam, so I'm sure you did much better than you might think! But best of luck!
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 hi im a freshmen and just took spanish lang and culture and feel like crap cuz i struggled a ton with it. seeing your score made me super like envious and ur video on the test was super helpful so thank u.
Missed the train,but when I did human Geo freshman year, I somehow got a 1. I didn't really care and things picked up
Lmfao that's me this year
AWEE watching you react to your AP scores is the most satisfying thing I’ve ever seen, you look so sweet
Holy crap dude, that’s insane. Congratulations!!
This made me so happy. I have my physics exam tomorrow and lowkey terrified, but your energy made me very happy. I'm late but congratulations!!
What did u get?
i got a 4 !
@@blessybellamkonda2934 nice job
Congratulations!! You ate with these tbh I could never
Holy crap, you’re insane that’s so amazing
Wow that's impressive, congratulations!
Holy moly congrats on your scores! Those scores are AMAZING 👏
Thank you so much! ❤️ 🙏🏼
Omg your scores are FABULOUS! How long on average did you spend studying everyday for an AP exam?
Awesome, man! I hope I get 5s as well.
Dang man that is insane well done!
Thank you so much!
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 You got yourself a sub :)
Thats amazing!ap goated🤩
ka M haha thank you!
congrats!! how did you self study for micro & gov? I'm debating self studying them next year and was hoping i could get some tips!!
i'm taking 9 aps this upcoming year (self studying 4) this gave me motivation to actually study the 4 aps i'm self studying thank you :)
oh my lord good luck, I barely survived the five i took senior year lol
What does self studying mean?
@@delta-ud7do self studying is pretty much just when you teach yourself the material without taking the class
Wow!! Congrats on those scores! Can you make a vid about getting a 5 for APUSH? I take it this yr as a sophomore.
Sure! I'll add that to my list as well! Thank you so much for the suggestion!
Idk if this gives me hope or discourages me
Well it is certainly not meant to discourage you, so my apologies if that's the case! This video was honestly just made for fun :)
Awww, you replied!!! No, i know, its just my ego that is hurt tbh 😅 i applied to a bunch of high end colleges and i got rejected from most of them, so its definitly my ego. Good job btw, u should be proud!!!
YOURE INSANE WOAH!! TOO CRACKED WOW!!!
insane scores man! I was just wondering how did you study for AP Bio ????
Wow, congratulations! You did so good!
I just took my AP Human geography test and I think I failed the MCQ.
Although, I did use your tips on the FRQ video you made, which helped me a lot. Nevertheless, I did very poorly :(
Lots of ppl take human geo and say they failed, but end up getting 4s or 5s, you'll be fine
this is late, but congrats!! If you don't mind, could you make a video on the English AP? If not, thats okay too :)
Thank you so much! And yes, I’ll be sure to do that at some point! I haven’t uploaded in a good while, but I’ll definitely plan to get more videos out hopefully sooner rather than later. Thanks again for the video suggestion!
sophomore waiting for my bc calc and european history results. your scores are actually insane. hope you got into the college of your choice, one year after the video was posted
What’s insane is you taking calc BC as a sophomore, holy shit. Good luck :) I’m currently waiting for my APUSH scores
@@RishiJalukar thanks! good luck to you as well, heard apush is a monster of a course because it's a history class
I'm waiting on my Spanish and World results, gl
Bro I’m a sophomore in bc too! How was the exam for you?
@@lampsenpai4325 honestly, not too bad! made a few stupid errors on the FRQ, but that's to be expected. collegeboard went easy on us with those this year
I'm taking Physics 1 rn and I absolutely despise it, but I'm kinda goated at it still.
Nice work!
Thanks so much!
wow! you’re so smart 🥰
Thank you so much lol, and best of luck on your AP Exams this year!
Bruh you better be applying to Harvard or something
Cause looking at those AP scored you've got a pretty good chance of getting in
Cause the colleges can see that you can handle this much rigour of courses
And thrive under pressure
Anyways Best of luck
Hey, thanks for the kind words, although I don’t think I’d be the best fit for Harvard in all honesty. I think the environment would be way too competitive and stressful for me, although I definitely commend anyone who goes there. It’s certainly a rigorous and great choice for many! I’ve already committed to Purdue, so that’s where I’ll be going next year :)
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 Best of Luck with your future, I mean yeah only we know where we might flourish😃😃
This guy got more 5s than I did tests
can you explain to me how all of these students [not you] with perfect GPA's still only get 3's and the occasional 4 of their AP's?
JamesJoyce12 well as much as I hate to admit it, one’s AP exam scores don’t always serve as an accurate measurement of one’s intelligence or aptitude (much like many other standardized test scores). A lot of it comes down to knowing how to take the test, rather than knowing the content, if that makes sense. That’s why, when I’m studying for these exams, I spend a lot of time looking at the AP course and exam descriptions and the past FRQs. That way, I know what to expect on exam day. Getting that 4 or 5 on the AP exam often comes down to knowing how the exams are graded and formatted, and not solely on content memorization. I’d also argue that, in some cases (but certainly not all), some students are naturally gifted and think that they’ll do just fine on an AP exam without needing to study, since they typically get good grades with minimal effort. But that’s something completely separate. That’s just my take on that. That is a fantastic question! Thanks for asking :)
The AP exam is 1 part memorizing the content of the course and 2 parts knowing how the exam is graded (i.e. knowing rubrics).
Also, the exams are a bullshit cashgrab that 2020 made blatantly obvious (of course I'm still taking them regardless because... I want to go to college.)
But yeah, case in point, the AP exams aren't entirely indicative of how much someone knows the material. That aspect is there, but there's a really large part of you just being able to game the system by knowing how tests are graded.
Nice video!
Smart kids be like I am getting a 3 on physics.
Literally a second later: oh 5!
You're so smart, bro. That's actually insane
wow! congrats! you should make advice vids for each ap you took!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! And yes, I was planning to make some videos like that! I already have a video on AP Spanish up, but are there any AP exams in particular that you’d like me to go over? If so, I’d be more than happy to do so!
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 Yes! please, AP human geography and Computer Science Principles! I'm in my freshman year, and I'm taking the same courses you did your freshman year! :)
medha pulluru oh I suppose the only difference is, I took AP Computer Science A my freshman year, but lucky for you, I’m taking Principles this year! I’ll definitely try my best to get those videos out as soon as possible. I’ll let you know as soon as they’re done!
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 No problem! Thank you!
@@medhapulluru755 The AP HuG video is up! I'll definitely try to get the comp sci video done as well, but just thought I'd let you know! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
How did you study for these?? How early do you recommend to start preparing? Also was micro an easy course?
Most of my studying was from my AP prep books that I bought, but of course, how I studied varied slightly depending on the course. For example, for calc, micro, and physics, I did a lot of practice problems, but for exams like US history and government, most of my studying came from my review books. I would definitely recommend preparing a couple months ahead of time, even though I didn’t do that for some of my exams (aka art history 😂). If you’re self-studying though, you might want to start a little sooner though, since you won’t be receiving any in-class instruction. And I found micro to be relatively easy, but I can’t speak for the course itself since I self-studied for the exam. But yes, the content for micro was not challenging at all. I can make a video on how to study (or self-study) for AP exams and/or how to get a 5 on micro if that would be of interest to you. Hope this helps!
Zachary McCormick omg plz make a video about micro. Congrats ur a god i swear 👿😾🕴
Stream Awake haha, I’ll definitely get on that! That’ll be my next video, I promise 😂.
Dam I feel stupid after having watched this. All those AP classes you took and I thought that having taken the two AP classes I took was a lot. oof my head is hurting after this just thinking how much I will fail my only two AP exams ;-;
Oh no, don't say that! You've got this! Best of luck on your exams!
I probably got a 3 or 2 on the AP hug exam, I wish I studied correctly since the beginning, I am not taking an AP class again.
For a future high schooler what kinda stuff would you tell them regarding AP exams?
Sorry for the late reply, but it definitely depends on the subject matter, as each and every AP Exam is structured differently. If you want information on a specific one, just let me know. Otherwise, if you’re looking for more general advice, I’d say that success on the AP Exams is not so much derived from your knowledge of the content matter in comparison to knowing how to take the test. Much like any other standardized test, you need to study “to the test.” Merely by growing more familiar with the way in which questions are structured and graded, you’ll probably be pretty well-prepared for the exam(s) you’re planning on taking. Honestly, in my opinion, the best way to study for the AP Exams is to look over the AP Course and Exam Description for the course you’re studying for. It contains all of the content and general ideas that will be covered on the exam. Other than that, I’d say just give yourself time to prepare, pace yourself, and try to avoid cramming, although that’s easier said than done, I’m aware lol. I hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply!
Does anyone have any tips for the AP World History Modern Exam and AP Comp SCI Exam? I’m taking them this year and am very nervous
WOWWWW I could never 😩😩😩
MY GOSH
IM LATE BUT HOW DID U MANAGE TO TAKE AP PHYSICS 1, AP BIO, AND AP CALC BC ALL IN ONE YEAR OMG
Very impressive, did you have any free time outside of studying?
Most people who succeed academically also go outside
10 AP's?! And great scores on all of them?! I can barely handle one lol
AP Physics 1 and AP Lang video? 👁👄👁
Sure, I’ll add those ones to my list as well! Thanks for the suggestions!
good job
Smart
Nice
Hi! How exactly did you go about self studying AP Seminar?
Research I mean!!
I only took 2 ap classes this year n ima sophomore and all I’m thinking is how ima fail whap and seminar. Last year I took human geo cuz That was the only AP my school offered and I got a 3 n cried for 2 months. So I’m not emotionally prepared for this year
Aw no! Don’t get discouraged! Last year, the testing circumstances were so unideal, so I wouldn’t beat yourself up over a 3 in HuG. That’s a passing score after all! I could always help you prepare for either one of those exams, as I’m actually taking ap world this year, and I’ve already taken ap seminar, so let me know if I can be of any assistance to you. Just don’t over-stress yourself! You’ve got this 👍🏼
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 good luck with that. I’m actually taking my whap test rn. I’m on break but the dbq is next and from what I can… I’m failing
@@tiffanys1887 ...they let you have your phone during the break? we had to turn ours in
@@mariar.4893 I had my phone on the whole time. I cheated… a lot. But idgaf
JEEZ
OMG bro. You are smart !!
Haha idk about that... performing well on AP exams often comes down to merely "studying to the test." But I really appreciate your kind words, thank you! :)
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 That is true but the fact that you sacrificed your time to study for these tests seeking for a wonderful future is what makes you SMART❤️🔥.
I’m taking ap comp next year what should I expect from the class?
Which AP Comp are you referring to: AP Comparative Government and Politics, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, AP English Language and Composition, or AP English Literature and Composition?
@@ZacharyMcCormick11 LOL THERES SO MANY
How do you take so many APs, my school only allows 8 classes and idk how im supposed to get so many aps should I like remove all fun classes and instead take all APs?
Oh no haha, I'd still recommend taking some classes that you find enjoyable; however, if certain AP courses interest you, then yeah, I would definitely try them out! I don't take AP courses for all of the AP exams that I take. My school doesn't even offer 10 periods in a regular school day, so in 2020, I'd been able to take 10 AP exams because I took 6 AP classes through my school and self-studied for 4 of them that year. Hope that clarifies that!
I've never ever seen so many 5s
how do you do self-studies? How do you inform college board?
At my school, we have to fill out a form with all of the AP exams for which we are self-studying and pay the necessary exam fees to the front office by around mid- to late October. If you're unsure of how this works at your school, I would contact your AP coordinator if you have one. Otherwise, I'd probably try reaching out to College Board. Hope that helps!
Omg
You got 8 5's in 1 year... there's no way thats not a record. HOWWWWWWWW
i feel so mean, ive never seen someone I want to fail more. I'm so incredibly jealous.
How should I go about preparing to be successful in AP Physics 1?
Well, I’d definitely recommend the Princeton Review book to help you prepare for that exam. It was a fantastic resource for me! Also, do plenty of practice FRQs from the past AP Exams, just so that you can get a feel for what you’ll be asked to do on exam day. Also, know how to algebraically manipulate the AP Physics 1 formulas because oftentimes you’ll be asked to either derive a formula or calculate something on the FRQs that requires you to do that, so just know that there will be a good amount of calculation and algebra you’ll be held responsible for as well. While you will also see some calculation-type questions on the multiple-choice section as well, a good chunk of that portion of the test is more conceptual in nature, so make sure that you don’t just know the formulas (which are still important; don’t get me wrong), but that you also know how they apply and how to explain the course concepts in words (and not just mathematically). If I can ever be of any assistance in any of the content of the course in particular, just let me know.
How the heck do you take 10 ap exams
Japanese friends used to say: we are not smart... we are disciplined and dedicated. I think Zachary is not an exemption to the rule.
That's very nice of you. Thank you so much!
How did he self study and get 4 for bio bro what
My jaw dropped.
U fucking beast lets go
How did you survive 10 Ap exams lmao
Good question haha... definitely a hectic experience, but it paid off in the end I suppose!
late but A 5 IN PHYSICS??????????
