The Official AP Exam Stress Thread

<p>light10491 omg i’m in the same exact position as you for comp sci, i’m rushing through barron’s as fast as i can ughhhh but it’s not exactly the kind of material you can just read and learn in one go. my teacher DID NOT prep us at all for this. i also have a mock bio exam tomorrow and fri and it counts as my final so that kills my comp sci studying time, leaving me this weekend to cram…and my teacher’s not even using the AP curve for it, so if i got 60% right which is a 4-5 i still get an F. i love my life.</p>

<p>sorry had to vent.</p>

<p>AHHHHHH!!! AP euro is killing me! we have to study ev en the night before the exam, we have to study new things.
then next week is government morning and afternoon, the day after is calc which i’m going to fail!!! andmy english teacher is being pinkberry making us do all th ehomewokr.</p>

<p>i cannot make it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>

<p>ah…now go back to finish 150 pages of euro plus that crazy artist project</p>

<p>AP Statistics is going to kill me. x(</p>

<p>Only 136 pages left of APUSH. And then some more studying for Eng Lang.
Took a USH practice test Saturday, got a 3, almost 4 (guessing that I’ll get two 6’s and a 5, but I sure hope not!) and my English teacher graded a timed synthesis essay I did and he gave me a 6, even though it felt like a 4.</p>

<p>Does anyone else seriously feel light headed? Heart palpitations?</p>

<p>daytripper, my grades in my two non-AP classes have both dropped from A’s to B’s (one is almost a C!) since I’ve started studying for AP tests.
coincidence?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes. Very .</p>

<p>my ap coordinator just called me in today and postponed my psych exam to may 22 cuz she forgot to mail the request with other school… huge relief</p>

<p>btw how many hours of sleep do u all get?</p>

<p>i try to sleep early and get up like in midnight but well duh it failed. epic fail.</p>

<p>5-6 hours of sleep, 6 AP tests coming up.</p>

<p>I’m getting about 6 hours of sleep with 3 APs coming up. By the way I have 3 physics classes before the exam and we still haven’t even talked about magnetics or electricity which is about 30% of the entire exam ah!</p>

<p>Taking four this year:
Calc AB, Stat, Physics C: Mechanics and Physics C: E&M.</p>

<p>Expecting 5’s on Calc and Stat, physics is killing me though… barely managed 4’s on the practice tests that I took. I hate E&M fifty times more than mechanics, its so arbitrary and non-realistic…which is what makes it harder. I hopefully can get a 4 on Mechanics because I have some idea of what I’m doing but E&M is…yeah.
I can’t believe people have the willpower to self-study something like this. I’m in the course and still struggling… :/</p>

<p>(btw first post, hey everyone!).</p>

<p>My instincts tell me I’m going to bomb bio badly.</p>

<p>Taking four: Gov., Calc BC, English Lang, Chem…
Just want to get these stupid things done with so i can stop having a nervous breakdown.</p>

<p>You think you guys are stressed out?</p>

<p>Here’s my schedule…</p>

<p>Wednesday: University of Illinois Calculus III Final
Thursday: AP English Literature
Friday: AP United States History</p>

<p>Monday: AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C Electricity and Magnetism
Tuesday: AP Environmental Science, AP Psychology
Wednesday: Break
Thursday: AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics</p>

<p>Yeah…
Also I’m self studying AP US, AP Environmental Science and AP Microeconomics</p>

<p>Help</p>

<p>apwh is my first ap test, and im freaking out. i feel unprepared and overwhelmed…i want to study, but i dont ever really get around to doing that…I hope PR is enough! :(</p>

<p>Tuesday: AP Spanish
Wednesday: College Physics class Test
Thursday: Linear Algebra Final Exam
Friday: APUSH</p>

<p>Monday: AP Biology, AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C Electricity/Magnetism
Wednesday: AP English Composition</p>

<p>…then</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Biology molecular, Physics, US History</p>

<p>June ACT </p>

<p>Summer :]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]</p>

<p>AP Spanish Language: Feel well prepared for the writing, pretty well prepared for the reading, semi-well prepared for listening, and not really prepared for speaking, hoping for a 4</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC: Not worried at all, 5 no sweat</p>

<p>AP US History: Just need to review more, read online outlines/finish PR, should hopefully get a 5</p>

<p>AP Physics B: I feel really good about this one. I’m fairly confident I’ll get a 5. I’ll just review formulas/key concepts.</p>

<p>AP English Language/Composition: This is the one that I’m stressing about most. I’m in the 4 range right now, and am doing as much Cliff Notes practice as I can to break into the 5 zone. I might just focus on essays rather than multiple choice. I’m not sure.</p>

<p>how much % do u need on the AP calc AB exam to get a 5?</p>

<p>Curve is different every year. Aim for around 65% and you’ll surely get a 5.</p>

<p>ap euro !!!
I am so stressed</p>

<p>■■■: AP Chem and AP Psych same day…i called college board to complain.</p>
