<p>So, how did your finals go, if you've had them already? I just got my APUSH final back..... I almost had a heart attack. I was sure I'm going to fail or somthing (some people did), but I did reasonably well. So, APUSH owns my soul, so its half-way over. Anyways, so?</p>
<p>I have my semester exam this monday. I don't know where to start. Any tips for studying? The DBQ I just took today raped me,lol.</p>
<p>i had my apush one today...i thnk i did well too. worried about the essay thoughh. i had PRECALC today and that is FREAKING ME OUT! i need a minimum of 87 to get an A. and i already found like three mistakes...plus i didnt have time go back and check so i hope i didnt make any others. ahhhh</p>
<p>hahah we DONT have a half way semester final... YAYYY we just have one at the end of year with the AP exam and i think we have EOCT.. not sure about the EOCT part</p>
<p>My physics final went pretty well. I studied pretty hard and I think I got above a 90 at least. OH and a bunch of kids from the other physics class had the answers to the test (don't ask me how), but it turned out that my teacher made our test versions different this time. So all the answers were wrong. pwned. </p>
<p>My AP spanish final was a little hard, but not too bad. A test I took last week killed me. I still don't understand direct and indirect object pronouns.</p>
<p>Finals started last Friday for us. I had English, and then a four day weekend. Today I had AP Calculus (really easy) and AP Comparative Politics (somewhat easy). Tomorrow I have AP Spanish Lit. and Friday I have Honors World History.</p>
<p>"Here lies my APUSH grade."
Family emergency= lots of missed school=a 'C+' for the quarter.
I hate history.</p>
<p>Finished java and calc yesterday, and philosophy and APUSH today. I wrote six essays in philosophy (filled 3 blue books) and wrote an almost 2-book DBQ essay for history. I have physics and spanish tomorow. </p>
<p>On the up side, we won GMCs for indoor track :D. Although no one outside of NJ knows what that is.</p>
<p>I'm good at history, I like it, and I'm going to take APUSH nest year, and everyone hear makes it sound impossible, but how is it at your school?</p>
<p>APUSH..... Everyone says it owns your soul and you have no life.... its partially true. We have a discussion everyday at school about how it consumes our lives. lol. I bet it varies teacher to teacher. But since this teacher likes to 'squish' GPA, we study hard.</p>
<p>Its very worthwhile to take it though. It definitely impacted my other grades for the better. Either you go big, or go home. The work ethic for APUSH helps others classes, and the constant writing helps SO MUCH in improving your skills.</p>
<p>I took my finals before break and luckily I did quite well.</p>
<p>Yea, I just got history and chem done today. History, I think I got around a 105-107 because there were two questions, together 10 extra points. First: What number president is Barack Obama and 2: Why wasn't Robert Gates there yesterday at the inauguration when all the other secretaries were? I finished with 30 minutes left and used it to study for chem. We needed extra time for chem because we had 100 MC, 26 short answers, and an essay. No one had started the essay at the end of the official time period. I'm praying it's scaled. Also, I have Algebra tomorrow, which I also hope is scaled, because no one finished and latin is a piece of cake.</p>

<p>There are two ways of looking at APUSH. The first way is to say that it consumes you (like wil said). The other way is to say that you immerse yourself in it.</p>
<p>You either get owned or drown in a veritable sea of knowledge.</p>
<p>I love APUS. It was such an interesting class!!</p>
<p>ya...the tests were tough but at least it was interesting to study</p>
<p>APUS exam was awesome. i studied my buttocks off but it paid off...one of those things where you dont even hesitate...rest of mine went very well, have yet to see about tomorrows physics....as mork would say, "sense of impending doom"</p>
<p>Oh, I remember APUSH last year. I am so glad that I am done with the class, and the final exam in that class destroyed me.</p>
<p>I'm taking my APUSH exam on Monday. :0!! Sounds intimidating from what I hear in this thread!</p>
<p>Yesterday I took my precalc exam, and today chem and physics. Precalc and physics were fine, but chem was hard (haha somehow every post I make in HSL relates to my antipathy for chem).</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I managed to get all A's.</p>
<p>But what I'm most proud about is getting an A in APUSH this semester. APUSH is also known as the GPA crusher at my school.</p>
