<p>BUMP fwiw... :p</p>
<p>haha wow, i'm so jealous of all of you guys. :D</p>
<p>this thread rocks.</p>
<p>woah, big bump.</p>
<p>Let's see, now that I know my scores for last May's exams, I can at least answer this question:</p>
<p>

any Spanish stories from white kids?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>I'm actually Asian, but I really don't know any Spanish even after taking four and a half years of it. Didn't study much for the exam until right before it, and pulled off a 3. That's actually my lowest AP score ever, but I was more happy with it than I was with the 5 I got on AP English lit that year! Yeah, I'm just not that great at Spanish...</p>
<p>"Im starting to get nervous about the econs. I am giving myself monday night - thursday to study micro + macro. Are those stories about people studying for 2 hrs and getting 5's really true for these tests. The q's for the people who didnt "sleep through the class." I dont take these for classes."
-- A year Ago
I read a macro econ book, then 250 pages of the wealth of nations because I wanted to see where it actually said the "invisible hand" I didnt find it but theres another 750 pages so its prob in there. I took macro and at lunch I stayed in my track, ate a corn muffin and read the barrons micro. I think the macro book covered some of the micro, because I knew some of the stuff. I found out that morning that there were essays for the open responses (Im a math/hard science kid). 4 and 4</p>
<p>I finished studying for my micro completely. Im a soph and my school doesnt offer APs, so im starting out slow this year. Just one sat II and one AP. Next year 3 APs, im actually going to be smart about my time and being studying stats in the summer, because im takin four SAT IIs next year plus the SATs... Damn I got a busy year. </p>
<p>But back to the Micro, i plan on getting a 5, because its the only standardized test ive yet to take, so i decided to get started early, and now im finished. But now i have to start studying for SAT II WH. But that should be easy.</p>
<p>I took 9 tests last year..</p>
<p>lit: didn't take the class, didn't study, got raped... 3
chem: had 1 semester of this... read up on the stuff (PR) that wasn't covered the night before the test... 4
bio: no class, read cliffs the day before (skipping the labs)... 4
mechanics/e&m: no class, spent 2 whole days studying for these (PR) but still got raped.. probably because I didn't do any practise problems... 3/3
psych: had first semester of the class.. then took the test five months later with a little bit of skimming through a few chapters of PR during lunch before the test... 4
micro/macro: no class, read through PR the night and did the problems in the back, cake... 5/5
us history: one semester of class, crammed 200 years the night before the test (PR)... 4</p>
<p>WOW these r truly inspirational for a procrastinator like myself. I haven't taken any AP tests, but knowing me it is gonna come down to like the nite b4 to study for them...</p>
<p>I didn't take the AP US government course. I bought a prep book a week before the test, studied for 1-2 hours per day, and got a 5.</p>
<p>My Euro teacher told us about 3 months before the test to start reviewing. Alas, I did not, and waitied until the last week. I remember, I opened the stupid review book, and the first line was osmething like, "If you're opening this book for the time a week before the AP, you're in trouble." Oh well! ^^;; I studied for about 2-3 hours each night that week, as well as fool-sound study sessions with my friends. I wound up getting a 4. :D</p>
<p>My soph yr, the AP US history test happened to be the day after a playoff game for my hometown hockey team, the not so good this year Flyers. So when it came time to study, I obviously chose to watch the game instead. I studied up until WWI and got a 4.</p>
<p>For Euro I only studied a little bit but had somehow learned in class and pulled off a 5 thanks to my amazing essays.</p>
<p>My sr yr I took Eng Lit and I didn't even study cause it was a bull AP test. I wrote one of my essays about my favorite book, Madame Bovary by Flaubert, cause I had written a term paper on it a year before so I knew what I was talking about. I would have failed without that haha but I got a 4. It was awesome.</p>
<p>and one more encouraging BUMP for this year's round.</p>
<p>thanks emmeline! haha. this thread is my fav. :)</p>
<p>Anyone here with success stories in online AP classes? I am currently taking an online AP US class and I didnt study the whole year. I am diligently studying the AMSCO APUSH book now and I have done 10 out of 30 chapters, and I do 2 chapters a day.</p>
<p>alas........about 20 days left for 5 tests......hope i can make it.</p>
<p>Bump some more. Also, remember to reply after you've taken your exams so you can be like "OMFG... OWN3d the exam."</p>
<p>Is it considered cramming if I'm just starting to study now when my AP Bio test is on May 14th?</p>
<p>And guess what I just found out? The concert I bought tickets for is on MAY 13TH!!! I didn't know at the time though, I bought the tickets before I knew when the test was.</p>
<p>haha, ouch. and the ap bio test is in the morning. too bad its not an afternoon test.</p>
<p>Eh I thought about it and I realized it doesn't really matter. I would be going to sleep that night too nervous to fall asleep until 12 anyway if I got into bed at 10. And since I'll get back from the concert at around 12, I can sleep in the car anyway. So it really won't make much of a difference.</p>
<p>Besides I'm not one of those ppl that needs sleep to function. I don't get tired until after the test is over and I just crash.</p>
<p>this thread is just AWESOME!</p>
<p>all lies... lies and lies of lies</p>
