Sense the sarcasm of the sub-title, por favor. I only wrote it because my stack of Barron's and SparkNotes's AP practice books are staring me down. And frightening me. Threatening me, actually. Okay, I'll stop now.

Sooo yes, the season has begun. In less than a month, they begin. Are you ready?

I signed up for AP tests before knowing what college I'd be going to.

Now I'm realizing that the AP tests I'm taking wont do jack shit for me. So I really couldn't care less about them. I remember I took like... 5 junior year. The constant studying and practicing was terrible.

5/11 for AP European History! *dies*
It's my first one ever, I am nervous, VERY nervous because I am scared of getting essay questions that I have absolutely no idea on.

i'm taking 5 AP tests just to get out of taking my finals.

I have no chance of getting a 3 on any of them.

If I get a 2 on the Calc BC test, I will host a huge party. SRSLY.

^ I took that one last year... it was a Doozy, but I made it through.

Now I'm taking the Calc AB. Dang.

Are you...studying on your own?

Actually, I really liked IB/AP testing. =\
Because I had Study Leave and all, so my senior year, I pretty much had all of May off due to study leave and test days. And the fact that I basically didn't have to do any hwk for the rest of my classes.

Yeah haven't started studying for that. Probably should get on that.

I'm not ready. I won't be ready. I've realized this. I'll pass English, for sure, but everything else...no. I've kind of given up hope on most AP tests.

In APSUH, it's really important to under stand concepts of why things happened, and what happened as a result. If you know all of those for the important aspects of UShistory, you can bluff through any aspect of the free response.

But... it's also good to memorize key people and key laws/movements for each time period so that you can act like you know exactly what you're talking about...

It all worked for me!

SUFFERRRRR

AS I DID LAST YEAR! SUFFFFEERRRR!!!!!!!

JK JK JK!

Actually, I never even used my books. I still have that crap in my closet. I call it crap because they're wasting space. I want to give them to anyone who will take them (they're old, though -- no I'm not advertising!), but no one wants them, lol. I should go recycle them.. *sigh* So heavy. :/

The AP Calc book was the ONLY ONE that helped me prepare for APs, and it was the book that we HAD TO BUY for my class when I took it junior year.

You can make a lot if you sell them on ebay, esp if they are unused. I bought old prep books for about $10-20 each.

Calc will be a breeze, Bio not so much. I read 3/18 chapters of Barron's Bio prep book...SOOOOOOO FREAKING BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh, I actually really loved Bio. And the Barron's book was a freakin' life-saver. Just know your physiology, guaranteed one of the free response will be about some sort of system.

Wow, no AP Bio takers? o_O

I'm only taking one this year, and I'm already suffering.
Grrrrrrr...this is what I get for slacking off second semester. And my tutor thinks I'm a total retard because I'm barely improving. Rawrrr! One week until all hell breaks loose!
G'luck to everyone!

AP Bio is the easiest off all three. All factual, not a bit of conceptual.

i remember when AP Psych screwed me over. Because I was taking IBHL Psych, and a couple other students and I decided to register for AP Psych before taking a look at how hard the exam was. And half the stuff was completely different from the IB Psych stuff.

i got one on monday
= (

AP GOVT
i dont know a thing about our government

AP Bio is easier than Chem and Physics DEFINITELY. But, maybe just because I was really interested in the subject. The lab section is really a no brainer. Just remember your processes and your cycles and basic concepts and you're good to go. Critical think your way through it.

APUSH isn't really that hard either. If you know what was happening when most of the Presidents were in office, you should be fine. digital.fragrance is right. You have to think chronologically: cause, event, effect.

I have Government on Monday and Statistics on Tuesday. I'm not really worried about Stats but I'm so screwed for Stats, it's unbelievable. :(

The AP American Gov. test was a bitch.

Dreading Enviornmental and Psych back to back on the same day

^psych is suppose to be the easier AP test. my friend took the practice one during class and said that no one got lower than a 4.

So I woke up at six o'clock this morning and said, I have

TWENTY FIVE HOURS

to learn ALL THINGS CALCULUS.

I stop studying two hours before the test tomorrow. Fourteen hours to go!

My class won't finish the course before the AP test, I've been going through the review book and we've done like 6/12 chapters. It's only a semester course.

ours was too.
im not taking it till next year, though.

My school doesn't even offer AP psychology. There is ONLY ONE class of psychology honors and it's fulled already for non-IB students...not to mention, my school doesn't offer IB psychology as well.

Friday afternoon session for AP European History. I wonder how much I can cramp in these three nights. I am not ready for it...at all.

I liked number 4 a) though. "Define Federalism" Kekekekek

crappy APUSH teachers seem to be a trend here. mine sucks as well. i just spent the the past 4 hours studying lol.

but i'm not too worried about english language.

Hahaha yeah some questions were common sense but others were like It wasn't really hard, just too long to be reading about american government.

my friend drew pictures for the free response questions.

that test was...um...interesting.

I..tried?

English Lit tomorrow! I've read about 50 books this year... and I can't remember titles, or character names.

Me too! ...ish.

Uhhh yeah. Didn't pass. It's okay. I'll live. Srsly.

Number 6c on Stat....ripped me a new a-hole.

FOUR HOURS
until APUSH

*whew* APUSH was wayyy easier than I expected it to be. Now I'm just scared about the national curve.

i took mine today
omg soo stressful!
AP Euro wasnt all that easy

hey hey hey, i'm alive! u.s. history multiple choice were pretty easy. but i'm not sure i did too good on my DBQ and free response. i think i might make a 3 though. one more to gooo.

it was so surreal, taking an AP exam for the first time. i think i might have messed up my answer sheet. uh oh

on the pink booklet when you bubble in what questions you answered, were you supposed to do that in pen or pencil?

Uh. For my AP euro test, it's easier than what I thought. Because the practice tests that I took...I totally flunked them and at least I know the stuff on the multiple choice (most of it). The essays are easier than the practice ones too but I am scared of major errors. Which essays did you choose for the FRQs?

APUSH , wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think I did ok though.

One down one to go. Art history on Wed.

I died on all my AP exams. Bio was such a $(*&%(#*W&$(#W*&. Calc too, but not as much.

AP Stat was crazy hard since our teacher was a douche
AP American Cultures was a breeze

I have Art History tomorrow, I'm so going to fail that. I shouldn't have put so much time into APUSH.

The second free response question on the AP psych test killed me. Enviornmental wasn't horrible.

OH MY f**king GOODNESS I ACTUALLY PASSED CALC.

SUMMER HAS OFFICALLY STARTED.

YAY!!!!

I actaully don't know how I did on my AP English test yet...

I must say, I took so many AP tests i don't much remember any of them.

You checked your score already? I don't want to waste $8 on the phone score reports, so I would wait half a month for the mail.

^Nooope, they came in the mail today. (:

Luckyyyy!! I', still waiting for mine... I hate the suspense!

MAN

I'M SO SCARED T_T

hahahaha I got a 3 on Statistics. I bet Mindy got a 5 and is going to come here and mock me.

Same hereeeeeeee!
