<p>Post your exam stories here.</p>
<p>Last year, my first AP exam was AP Calculus AB. I was extremely nervous. On the FR, I misread the scale on the first problem: I was reading whole numbers instead of decimals. Stupid math mistake ever. After the exam, three-day anxiety disorder.</p>
<p>I’ve just taken one AP test and it was AP Human Geography. I read the whole barrons studyguide twice before taking the test and got a 1. I also misread one of the essay prompts so that essay was rather bad…</p>
<p>ok I don’t have a good AP story, but I have a good SAT story. When I was taking the SATs this December we were in the middle of the last section when the fire alarm went off. It had started snowing a lot right after the test started so we had to go outside in about 2 inches of snow and wait for 20 minutes. When we got inside they decided that they were just going to collect the tests without us having all the time rather than having the scores canceled. So we basically waited out there for them to tell us that we are allowed to leave</p>
<p>So last year, I was taking the AP Psych…
it went incredibly well. ::)</p>
<p>Last year I took APLAC
Got finished early on the essays
drew flowers all over my essay sheets and “WHY SO SRS” in the middle of my essays.
Twas great. Got a 5. :p</p>
<p>I took Euro last year. I walked out thinking I got a 2 and was pleasantly surprised with a 5 :)… my teacher also gave us pretty pens she made with flowers on them!</p>
<p>I took AP English Language last year. . . baaaaaad. . . I barely answered half of the MC questions.</p>
<p>My first exam ever was APES. I felt bad about the MC and horrible about FRQ since I accidentally wrote the FRQs all in the same section, not realizing that there were like 5 pages per question provided in the answer booklet. I had to cross everything out and rewrite it in the last 10 minutes of the exam. I distinctly remember crying afterwards. I was rather shocked when I received a 5.</p>
<p>Okay, I have a pretty good one. Last year, May 8th, 2009, date of the AP Euro Exam for me. I was really excited, I felt super prepared. So I stayed up only until 11 studying because I wanted a good night’s sleep. Plus there’s not much else to cram anyway. When I woke up, I found out it was the first day of my cycle. Anyway, no biggie, I went to school, went to zero period P.E. I chose not to eat breakfast before P.E., because I didn’t want the food to sit around in my stomach while running, that’s just the worst feeling ever.</p>
<p>We ran the mile. After I finish my mile, I went to the bathroom to change but I was feeling really really tired. I never really felt so terrible after running a mile. I started getting really dizzy and my vision got a little fuzzy. And then I started getting stomach pains. I felt all this while walking back to the track, and I stopped and sat down in the middle of this grassy area. I was really scared because I really felt like I had absolutely no energy left to walk back to the track. I got up and just dragged myself back anyway. I told my friends I felt really bad, they gave me some water and had me sit down. But sitting down made me feel a lot worse, but I also felt like I didn’t have energy to walk around. Then I found out that if I could lay down a certain way, the stomach pains weren’t so bad.</p>
<p>I started screaming and crying because now I felt dizzy, disoriented, I still had stomach pains, and then they called the nurse’s office. And then I just threw up on the track, I didn’t eat any breakfast so I threw up bile and stomach acids. Apparently that stuff is thick and yolky looking. Hmmm…</p>
<p>Anyway, they put me in a wheelchair and took me to the nurse’s office and had me lie down. When I lied down, I went unconscious, apparently, I forgot for how long exactly. When the people in the office got me to wake up, I saw I had like four people looking down at me, trying to keep me awake. And they were like, “Okay we think you’re dehydrated, you have to go to the hospital and they’ll put IV fluids in you” or something like that. I was sweating a lot and I threw up earlier, and since i didn’t drink water before running the mile, they think I’m dehydrated and losing fluids. And I was like…</p>
<p>“No! It’s okay, I feel a lot better now. I need to stay because there’s the AP exam today!”</p>
<p>and well they already called an ambulance, they checked me and I don’t think they found anything wrong with me, because they allowed my mom to just take me home instead.</p>
<p>Then I kept telling them, no I feel better! Let me stay and take the AP exam. And they just wouldn’t let me stay!</p>
<p>I think I felt bad because of a combination of these things, I had my period that day, I didn’t eat breakfast, I was feeling stressed about the exam, and I didn’t drink water? I don’t know, maybe I had really bad test anxiety and then my body attacked itself. I don’t know, it was unusual for me to feel so so so so horrible after running a mile. I didn’t even run a good time, it was like over 8 minutes -_-</p>
<p>Anyway, I ended up taking the make up test. I’m so glad I did, the essay questions were SO EASY!!!</p>
<p>Although I feel like I failed so hard on the DBQ… I wish they let us see a breakdown of our scores because I’m fairly convinced the DBQ kept me from a 5.</p>
<p>OH WELL I’M HAPPEH!!</p>
<p>Last year, I was taking AP Euro. It was my first AP exam and only AP that year, so I was really nervous. I had 5 pencils with me, each marked fo a specific purpose, and one was going to be used to fill out the contact information.</p>
<p>After the exam, I went home and crashed on the couch. I picked my bag from the test off the floor and looked inside. I went to pick all of the random stuff out of there when I came across my pencil when I realized that the pencil I used to fill out all of my contact information was NUMBER THREE. It sounds really dumb writing it on CC, but it was a HUGE dilemma: the computers at AP Central wouldn’t scan it right or whatever, so they wouldn’t get any of my contact info, and I would never get my score. I was so scared and mad that I had gone through nine months of torture in a class I didn’t like only to not get ANY credit for it - it was one thing if my grade went down a point or two, but it’s another thing if I didn’t get any credit at all and missed the one window to take it.</p>
<p>I didn’t tell anyone - if my parents found out, I would have been dead.</p>
<p>So July 1st came, and I really wanted my AP Euro score, so my dad called to get it. I was at work and my dad was at home with a credit card, so he was calling to get my scores for me. After 20 minutes, he called to say that he couldn’t get it, so by now I was FREAKING OUT inside.</p>
<p>But what happened? He got it. I didn’t provide my social security number, so it was harder for him to find it. I got a 5.</p>
<p>The moral of the story? YOU CAN USE A #3 PENCIL ON THE TEST.</p>
<p>Oh my gosh, that is like the best story ever. ^</p>
<p>Another: 2 years ago, the power went out at my school on the morning of the AP Bio exam. All of the AP Bio students had to take it on the make-up day: the morning of prom. The AP Bio teacher, who in all her years of teaching had only had one student receive a 1, got FIVE 1s that year.</p>
<p>Did you know there’s a score lower than 1? If you actually got lower than 1 it shows as a * on your score report.</p>
<p>
I’m going to assume this is a joke.</p>
