<p>First AP? APUSH.</p>
<p>My wrist still hurts and is still cracking.</p>
<p>First was AP Euro last year</p>
<p>I only started studying a few days before, and afterward thought I failed. Got a 4, so I was pretty surprised! :)</p>
<p>Oooh and also forgot to mention, my hand hurt sooo much afterward. I wrote 12 pagesss which actually isn’t that much because I wrote 11 pages for APUSH today and I BSed the whole thing lolll</p>
<p>When I took APUSH today, it felt like I threw up every single fact I knew and put it into those test booklets.</p>
<p>My brain was totally fried after my first AP exams - psych and us history. Good luck!</p>
<p>Well after my first AP test (Psych) I was lol warning pun about to come up psych! I loved them! It was stressful yes but it was claming and stuff I thought to myself “hmm that was kinda hard but fun”. Now after my second one (Euro) and my brain is DEAD!!! I have a major headache and its been hours since the test is over! UHH</p>
<p>I thought APUSH sophomore year was super easy but I ended up getting a 4. Whoops.</p>
<p>My first one was today for Euro…I feel i did pretty good and i am SO RELIVED ITS FINALLY OVER! School’s gonna be chill the rest of the year since euro was the class i had to study for the most…now i can focus more on chem and pre calc.</p>
<p>“Now to start studying for the other ones i have left”</p>
<p>I wanted to veg out.</p>
<p>I took the Apush exam yesterday and my brain is still fried. The wort thing is that I don’t even want to study since i feel so dead after the Apush exam, but I have a biology exam on Monday… Fffffffffffff!!!</p>
<p>MY first AP was APUSH this year, and i found that the MC section calmed my anxieties and i was able to compose myself for the free response.</p>
<p>First AP = APUSH
Afterwards my head hurt so badly, I crashed as soon as I got home.</p>
<p>From my very first APs (last year) ever:
European History.</p>
<p>So paranoid. I believed I missed about 3-7 questions, and I was afraid that my free-response wasn’t specific enough. In hindsight, nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>Then World History. Missed about 3 questions on WHAP, had odd groupings for the DBQ, but absolutely killed the free-response. The week before, I had put myself through intense studying over classical civilizations and Africa. Best decision I’ve ever made. </p>
<h2>Human Geography. Absolutely killed the exam. It was awesome. Felt really good, although I remember messing up on one of the free-responses. Solid way to end hell week. Have my class to thank for that. One of the best classes I’ve ever taken. Really competent teacher, really hard curriculum, really tough textbook… lots of practice tests and essays. I’ve never been so prepared for an exam in my life (except Euro and Whap were also unbelievably amazing classes).</h2>
<p>This year, first exam was APUSH. Knowing the curve, I’m feeling good about MC and DBQ. Feel decent with Fr Resp. Could’ve studied a lot more, though. I went in feeling like I hadn’t personally prepared enough. Didn’t have enough time to process thoughts as had to immediately study for SAT-IIs (which ended up not happening today for me; odd circumstances means I get make-up).</p>
<p>French, Lang&Comp, and Bio make-up to look forward to. Joy. I feel so unprepared. Whatever. Challenge accepted.</p>
<p>Seeing as my first ever AP was Calculus AB, and I got a 108/108 on our AP practice test/final and maintained an A+ both semesters with no work AND felt that the AP test was easier than our practice test… I knew I killed it (got a 5). </p>
<p>This wasn’t representative of any of the future APs that I took except possibly Calculus BC, which I knew I got a 5 on although it was significantly harder and I missed at least a couple points.</p>
<p>My first AP was AP US Gov sophomore year. My teacher had done about nothing to prepare us in class (we literally goofed off everyday just talking and doing other hw), but I studied it on my own outside of class. After the exam, I thought I probably got a 2, maybe a 3. Really, I just was familiar enough with the grading scale and that you really only need 60-70% of the questions correct on AP exams to do well, whereas in school 70% is an F, so that’s why I wasn’t sure. I ended up getting a 4. The questions on it weren’t difficult, but I just didn’t know how many you needed correct- I was confused as to how to know what I got. Now I know them a lot better and how to guess at my score before I get it.</p>
<p>Then I took APUSH last year, and was more sure of what I got- thought either 4 or 5, ended up with a 4.</p>
<p>I took 5 AP exams this year, and again, after the first one this year (AP Psych), sure I had a 4 or 5, so we’ll see.</p>
<p>My first was Calc AB sophomore year. Did well in class but didn’t study enough for the AP test (I honestly didn’t know how much to study). I got a 3, which bummed me out for a long while. Luckily, I rebounded junior year to get 5’s on three of my four exams. </p>
<p>(This doesn’t apply now since you’ve taken Euro) but basically, you’ll have a good idea after your AP exam of how well you performed. You could be in for a pleasant surprise ( a 5 when you expected a 3/4) or a rude surprise (3 when you expected 4/5) if the curve ended up being too lenient or strict.</p>
<p>I took stats as a sophomore. The test was… exactly as I expected it to be. I ended up getting a 5.</p>
<p>I took Bio. The class itself was kind of a mess (online lessons that were basically just videos about the topics, teacher only graded our exams, no one told us what to expect on exam day) that shouldn’t have happened. </p>
<p>I walked out thinking “ohmygod I just bombed that test” and then when the questions were released I realized I read one of the FRQs backwards. I was mortified and actually bet my principal that I would get a 3 or less.</p>
<p>I got a 5. Still owe my principal a beer!</p>
<p>I felt that I did at least a 3 on US History. I was sort of relieved that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be considering that I studied on my own for the test. I got a 3, so I was alright with that in my mind.</p>
<p>Took US History on the 6th. To my surprise, I found the test tot be quite easy and nailed it with utmost confidence. Truly felt as though all that studying paid off. My only gripe is that I spent hours and hours focusing on certain details (Gilded Age) when in fact they were absent from the test. Still, always safe to be prepared.</p>
