<p>sarorah, here is my feeling, as a parent, regarding AP exams. I have been repeating this to my D for weeks and I can only hope she took it to heart during her exams. If you pass the test/get college credit, that's just icing. If you don't pass the test/don't get college credit, it's no big deal ... just think how much you'll already know when you take one of those classes in college. Everyone, including my D, is in such a hurry to get their classes out of the way and move on. PLEASE, I beg of you, listen to me when I tell you to take things at a steady pace and enjoy the remainder of your high school time and enjoy college. Don't get me wrong ... there's a difference in enjoying and slacking. I'm saying to take things in stride and have fun while doing it. Don't be in such a rush to get out in the "real" world. I remember rushing everything during my college years ... take time to stop and smell the roses.</p>
