ChD Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 AP exams are these special tests in the United States (and a few other places in the Western Hemisphere) that high schoolers can take and potentially get college credit on if they do well. They're graded on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being great and 1 being awful. Most students will get credit if they score a 4 or 5, but passing 3 scores are not unheard of. Each university has its own AP policy. Interesting. First time I heard of such a thing. Still, best of luck with them. Here you only take that exam at the end of high school and you get into college depending on the grade you get there. So, basically, you can be lazy for 4 years then catch up in a month and still get into a decent college. As for me, I'm going to take a Cambridge exam either this winter or next summer for college.

rukaio101 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I forgot to throw Danny Wallace (Thomas was Alone) into consideration for Voice Performance. He's just narrating though. Wouldn't he be ineligible in the same way that Documentary Narrators are ineligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Year 2 was also a year the game nearly went into the toilet, funny enough. But yeah, I want to write more female leads in the future. I'll have two female leads for sure, as well as a few other large roles for females. I think I'm too based in casting men.

rukaio101 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Man what a weak year for female acting Second that. I think the only films to put someone up for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress were Mushishi, Flowers and Cinema Studies. Also Films, why did you put the Innocent down for Best Use of Action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
