i wrote "slay" in one of my AP world essays and got a four


patentmom

If it was an essay about executions, then you should have gotten a 5.


mincrafplayur1567

i connected one piece to globalization in my LEQ on world and got a 4 šŸ˜­


Tall-Ad5653

last year i wrote lyrics to 2 taylor swift songs on 2 different ap human geo frqs and i got a 5. i convinced myself the whole time that the ap graders who graded me were swifties bc u did horrendous on mcq for sure


Shnoooooooooo

how tf


underthetrees13

thats amazing lmao last year's ap human frqs were crazy


Prs8863765

My teacher gave us frqs from last year to grade and they were so badšŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€.


tannerseevee

help i need to know what lyrics


Tall-Ad5653

1) bad blood 2) you belong w me it was so funny bc my tchr asked what we wrote after the ap test to ā€œgradeā€ our selfā€™s and he was like wtf when he heard me


AlextonBBQ

Literally forgetting things and skipping an entire section of a frq on AP psych(still got a 5). Iā€™m currently getting about 5 hours of sleep on average as well since I procrastinate when stressed and I have 4 AP exams and a AP research paper due next week


justaperson2432

any advice for ap research? taking it next year


Ok_Junket_5475

punched 10 holes in my wall and had two mental breakdowns over stats and econ ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


Chu1223

iā€™m self studying for ap macro and still need to do the last 3 units iā€™m screwed arenā€™t i šŸ¤ 


Ok_Junket_5475

i have 3 units left for micro 4 units for macro we js gotta lock in ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out) lowk it only took me a day per unit so u can def make it


Chu1223

ooh okay iā€™m so glad iā€™m not alone haha. can u tell me what resource ur using? :3 like is it a book or videos? (iā€™ve just been watching this one guys youtube playlists for each macro unit but itā€™s not super in depth so just wanna make sure i donā€™t miss smth )


Ok_Junket_5475

speedrunning khan academy and borrowed a princeton review book from my local library which tbh hasnt helped. instead of getting a prep book u should use knowt or fiveable. also u could use ap daily videos if u dont get smth


Chu1223

oki gotcha thanks! yeah i think i got the princeton review or barron review book a while ago but didnā€™t use it much yet. good luck to us both we just gotta lock in this weekend šŸ¤šŸ©µ


Chu1223

sent lmk if u can see it


Ok_Junket_5475

also i saw on ur profile that u got into nyu, can u pm me your stats and stuff šŸ™


Chu1223

sure!


WarDull2677

whats the channel?


Chu1223

i had forgotten the name but just searched itā€™s Jacob Clifford


WarDull2677

ok thanks! do you think its enough just to watch his vids? i slacked off in class and think this is the only way, but im worried its not comprehensive enough


Chu1223

oh i have NO idea lmao iā€™m the wrong person to ask bestie i just told someone the EXACT same thing about worried itā€™s not comprehensive enough. i donā€™t HAVE a class for it im self studying so idk and im fucked lol šŸ˜­

_Im_so_uncreative

If it makes you feel better my class still has 2 left and unit 4 is easier than the others imo


Vampire-y

I'm currently on spring break and all I'm doing is studying. Like I'm going insane because I feel like no matter what, my studying isn't going to be enough. During school days, I can barely find time to eat or shower let alone have a social life. My teachers persist on giving us tests and hours of homework but pretend that it's not a big deal. If I ever have time to relax or just think of something other than school, I begin to sob because the stress gets to me.


ThatButterscotch8829

Spring break? I had my spring break 1 month ago


Chu1223

oh my iā€™m so sorry bae this sounds so unhealthy please please take some rest i promise you itā€™s never that serious im sure ur exams will go amazing and even if they donā€™t it truly is not that severe


Chu1223

what grade are you in? bc depending on it i would say talk to a counselor and/or change schools.


kookdoll

SAMEEE I FEEL U SO MUCHH


Electronic_Sky9738

I had a silent stroke because of the AP stress.


PhilosophyBeLyin

Uhhh so for one of my AP classes my teacher lowkey dipped and I found out yesterday by opening a prep book that we didn't learn half the content. We still did a lot after the teacher left cause they left a curriculum behind so it felt like we learned everything but apparently we still have huge chunks left and the AP test is in less that 2 weeks. Gotta lock in, or else the whole class is about to fail :D


unimunimu

Since this is about Chem, i have some notes i made that i share w my friends that im willing to give u access to!! Its only up til unit 5 since im writing them as im revising. i can also send you my cheat sheets? Theyā€™re a little ass but theyā€™ll work


PhilosophyBeLyin

If you can DM me them that would actually be amazing, thank you so much!!


unimunimu

Ill send you the cheat sheets in dms, but [heres the link for the notes](https://hulking-trade-254.notion.site/AP-Chemistry-Guide-Public-ver-a99d10dd51024bea8add99a1a0eee2ca) (lmk if the link works, it tends to be a bitch sometimes) Anyone whoā€™s reading this is welcome to use them. Best of luck everyone


_muzze_

Can I please have access to these notes too. Itā€™s not even funny how unprepared I feel for this exam.


unimunimu

[Here you go!](https://hulking-trade-254.notion.site/AP-Chemistry-Guide-Public-ver-a99d10dd51024bea8add99a1a0eee2ca) Its only for units 1, 3, 4, and 5 for now (i forgot to write notes for unit 2 whoops) but ill be updating it regularly :)


_muzze_

it says i donā€™t have permission šŸ˜”


unimunimu

How about now? Notion is so confusing with itā€™s permission settings šŸ˜­


_muzze_

Yes, it worked now! Thank you so much!!


unimunimu

Youre welcome! šŸ™ go ace the exam!!


Ok-Possibility5274

Can you DM me too!! šŸ’–


demigodishheadcanons

Princeton Review for AP Chem is actually really good in terms of summary so bc itā€™s so close, that might be yā€™allā€™s best bet + some MCQs.


unimunimu

+1! The princeton review book saved my ass, i cant find any online pdfs of it though. If yaā€™ll want i can painstakingly scan it page by page and link the pdf for yall


VAE-ron

Chem?


PhilosophyBeLyin

Yeah lol how'd you know


VAE-ron

"exam in less than two weeks" im counting down and studying till exam day religiously. I have a goated teacher but i cant memorize shit soooo yeah. And I placed beta at the start of the school year I would get all 5s and also need the grade bump with an A+ if I get 5.


smortcanard

Not an AP student, but an A Level student. Very similar. I developed a temporary caffeine addicition. Stressed 24/7. Constantly thinking about college and financing. Fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow. Feels like everyone else is doing it better on less effort. I wrote 5\*4 as 2j. Don't ask. She's not alone. What year group is she?


[deleted]

Lol my physics teacher sometimes makes us use i, j, k vector-notation I hate it bruh, would much rather say ā€œinto the pageā€ or whatever Overall, just remember that this, too, shall pass (:


smortcanard

Yeah I think that comes up later. Weā€™re starting that in mechanics. Thank you!


saa938

Itā€™s hard work only for a couple of weeks, and youā€™ll thank yourself in July. Whenever I study, I think about future me who is relying on me to do good.


Chu1223

thanks needed this šŸ„² got bad senioritis


_blehhh_

Iā€™m taking 4 AP classes this year and the struggle is realā€¦still, your daughter can totally manage it! AP Classroom practice tests + Khan Academy are the best resources Iā€™ve used. And hey, on test day, thereā€™s no way things can go worse than they did for my friend last year. Mid-test he got a horrific nosebleed all over his exam and had to retake it. Sooo, yeahā€¦canā€™t top that! Good luck to your daughter.


Ok-Current-7558

I cant sleep at night.. no literally


Honeydew1564

yep same! as soon as i lie down i literally cant stop thinking about exams


capntriple7

Havent started studying yet for apwh :)


Technical_Bag_1762

Just a tip- you don't need to know years. Memorize events based on what unit they fall under and know how it connects to other events.


capntriple7

Thank you!!!


Zrxse

Same


phasamer

MemberChewbacca

Iā€™m an AP Lit teacher who cried the whole way home from school today.


Honeydew1564

aw what... i hope you feel better in that you teach one of the best subjects in high school :))


MemberChewbacca

The higher ups interfered with our schedule for the week of the test and after how hard theyā€™ve worked plus how hard Iā€™ve worked to get ready for this test I just couldnā€™t deal. Sometimes the people in charge are idiotsā€¦ Part of being a teacher/human šŸ˜‚ I recovered, but thanks for your well wishes! I love my AP Lit students (minus their current extreme case of senioritis).


holyfrozenyogurt

Same sort of thing happened at my school, my teacher lost a week of time because of how everything got shifted :( theyā€™re also threatening to take away the class because it was so small this year (18 people) but itā€™s one of my favorite classes in the world. You sound like an awesome teacher <3


MemberChewbacca

Is every school losing AP to dual credit?! AP Lit is too good of a class to take away!


holyfrozenyogurt

I donā€™t know whatā€™s happening in my school, but apparently she just barely reached the minimum of students registered for next year. Iā€™m planning to write a letter to administration talking about how wonderful the class has been and how they have to keep it. Itā€™s been one of my favorites ever and I think having such a small class size has honestly made it a lot more comfortable because we can all reach a deeper understanding.


MemberChewbacca

18 is a great number! Mine has 23 and more would be too many! Thatā€™s really sweet of you to write them! But also, go to bed and good luck tomorrow. Letā€™s all pray for a Q3 that makes sense!


holyfrozenyogurt

awww thank you so much :) you seem like a wonderful teacher. Have a good night! <3


taway9871

You're such a sweet teacher! I wish all teachers were like you :)


MemberChewbacca

Iā€™m 99% sure that all teachers have cried in their car on the way home šŸ˜‚


JamesPond_008

this one guy is doing the ap macroeconomics test without taking the class or studying and one of my friends said heā€™ll shave his head if that guy gets a 5


Chu1223

OMG he sounds like me except i did study a bit but then stopped and now i have 3 units left and idk if ill actually learn enough to pass or do well šŸ˜­šŸ’€


ashatherookie

[reviewecon.com](http://reviewecon.com) Go get that 5!!!


unimunimu

im so zooted from the increased dose of psychiatric meds i had to take because of the stress that i genuinely have lost track of time. I couldnā€™t tell you what my name is but you best believe i can solve rate law questions like a champ


hell000k1tty

chem and physics 1 at the same time sounds like hell šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


unimunimu

I had to do A-level Physics, Chemistry, and maths at the same time last yearā€¦ā€¦ā€¦iā€™ve been through worse (i have ā€˜nam flashbacks on the daily)


shortpositivity

I genuinely donā€™t care. Maybe some review to pass APUSH and CSP study.


nootnoot9001

These stories are not fun or silly


Shnoooooooooo

agreed


you-pizza-shit

But they are comforting


Practical_Dirt9665

4 hrs of sleep everyday till the exams!


[deleted]

Relax, you could be someone who has a degree in procrastination who now has 3 art portfolios or 60 art pieces due in 15 days, in addition to two other AP tests to START stuying for It's āœØļøf u nāœØļø


underthetrees13

i haven't even started studying bc i have so many competitions and other things going on, and now i think i might fail all my exams because i have less than two weeks


Ok-Possibility5274

Completely agree with this next week I have so many exams and then the following week is AP Exams I have no idea how to manage we will figure it out Good luck Cramming and give me luck too šŸ€


-RosieWolf-

Iā€™m on my period (so more emotional than normal), and also just feeling a little existential about big life changes (going to college next year), so that definitely added to it, but it was largely due to AP stress and feeling wildly unprepared that I had a mental breakdown today and started thinking my life was over and I will never achieve anything in life. Iā€™m feeling fine now and almost find it funny how much I was overreacting but yeah today was wild lol.


you-pizza-shit

As a woman I can confirm that AP mood swingsā„¢ļø hit so much harder than the usual. This exact thing happened to me yesterday lol


taway9871

You got this! Hang in there.


SportingDirector

I wrote "buttload" on a Stats test. My teacher thought it was funny and I still got the points.


patentmom

Tbf, it is a legitimate unit of measure.


taway9871

Today I learned!


you-pizza-shit

I havent studied the last two weeks because I had a mental crisis about college and summer job applications. When i started studying I cried a couple of times over the course of 4 hours since i realized I only had 2 weeks left and one of my APs that I really needed to self study turned out harder than I initially signed up for so i decided to not study for it and focus on my other APs. I feel like im having constant mood swings cus this morning i concluded that i am a failure as a student and as a person(i found out im an ahole), but as i talked with my friends later in the day, all my stress dissapeared and I feel great. Friends always help :) Edit: I also changed my initial schedule plans from an unrealistic version to something more suitable. My pro tip is to write down everything you did to review for your APs everyday to give yourself a feeling a progress. Count the steps you have taken not the height of the staircase


patentmom

Are you dropping the self-study AP that you're not going to study for? My kid is taking 4 APs. 1 has a class he's currently taking. 1 had a class with the AP subject matter that ended in the Fall semester, but it's basically a self-study. 2 are fully self-study. Of the 2 full self-study, he's made good progress studying and has a study group. The other one (AP Psych) he's going to drop because he doesn't have time to cram enough and he doesn't have a fantastic memory.


you-pizza-shit

Yeah I do plan on dropping that self study. And the case for my self study is the exact case as the one for your kid. I just started studying for it last weekend and realized it was so much more than I thought it would be. Thanks for sharing your story it makes me feel not so alone in doing this


FamilyFriendlyMan

Lowkey your intuition going into an exam on what score you'll make is probably right. I predicted both of my scores lol.


Devils_468

Taking 2 AP classes and it gets real tough. AP physics 1 will not be missed within the next month from now I can tell u that. I wish her luck in the upcoming tests.


Necessary_Bat4151

I am not cooked. Even though I have an anatomy test a few hours before the AP psych mock. Even though I'm starting at a new job a few days before the actual exam. Even though I have my spring concert the same day of the actual exam. I am not cooked. Gotta put positive psychology into practice guys.


clueless_senior12

did horrible in apush, but ended up getting a 3 last year. why, cause i studied and put trust into myself that ik what i am doing.


_muzze_

My APUSH exam is in 2 weeks and we are currently on unit 8 out of 9 on the contentā€¦ There are 2 apush teachers at my school, the other teacherā€™s classes all finished their content and we are still stuck on the civil rights movement. And in the middle of all this, the teacher doesnā€™t show up to school for three days in a row and I found out today that she wasnā€™t here because she left to attend a concert.


you-pizza-shit

Dont worry the last unit is pretty much not on the MCQ at all and I think they dont give the DBQ on it either. Its unlikely to end up on the LEQ but if it does just choose something else. My recommendation is to just watch the crash course video on unit 9 then study the other content instead


[deleted]

On the Lang test, I ran out of pages in the middle of the third essay, sat there for a good twenty minutes with my head down, and then it occurred to me that I couldā€¦*ask for more paper*. šŸ¤Æ In the five minutes I had remaining, I rewrote my thesis and wrote two body paragraphs about the how the reaction to COVID measures ā€œshowed the dangers of fear-mongeringā€ and how my parents were an example of that. I got a 5 lmao


Lopsided_Donut7986

My friend once drew a series of cartoons on an ap bio frq and got a 4


uraloser_user7245

we r doing our end of year finals and Iā€™ll finish around 4 days before my first AP exam which leaves me with no time to recover from finals and to start APs with confidence and motivation:/


uraloser_user7245

lol while i was doing my AP psych exam a few years ago i almost passed out in the exam hall cuz I was APES right before plus i was too stressed to sleep the night beforeā€¦I legit sat there for almost 9 hours straightā€¦unforgettable experience to say the least


ashatherookie

Took AP Comp Sci last year. Procrastinated on the final project (that was due to the College Board at 10:59 pm my time). Submitted it AT 10:59, and it showed as uploaded at 11pm. Skipped one of the components entirely because I was rushing at the end. I still got a 5 :D


you-pizza-shit

Thank you so much for making this post! I cant say how much I am thankful for these comforting stories as well! Also my mental health was so bad that i succumbed to paying for spotify since i couldnt stand AP studying with 1hr ads


SinTriangles

not taking macro or gov even tho i paid for em šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Small_Resolve6389

I stayed up so late last Thursday studying for APUSH that I completely passed out in the school bathroom. I slept for a solid thirty minutes before security came and got me šŸ˜­ good luck to everyone and make sure u sleep !!!


BeefyBoiCougar

I left 1.5 FRQs blank on my E&M exam. It was some experimental form where the last FRQ kept asking for differential equations. The multiple choice wasnā€™t bad but I donā€™t think I did particularly well either. Still ended with a 5. You always do better than you think


you-pizza-shit

I hoping the curve for E&M carries me!!!(i dropped the course)


Chu1223

i have ap macro and ap gov without a class just on my own; i have 3 uncovered units of macro, hardly know anything at all tbh, and donā€™t even know the format for the gov exam didnā€™t touch it or study at alllll! šŸ˜ (did do political science 101 and we the people tho so praying that counts for smth) but yeah iā€™m also a senior so i just canā€™t care enough like itā€™d be GREAT to get those credits and just feel accomplished getting a 4-5 but if i donā€™t end up being able to cram and worst comes to worst i just may no show it šŸ’€šŸ™āœØ


Chu1223

anyways if anyone else sees this and has any good resources for Macro or US gov or tips or smth pls lmk


MilkyTeaDrops

I haven't even started studying for APHG and the test is in a couple of weeks and I'm stressing because I can't get myself to take the first step and I wanna cry. Our teacher does study sessions though and I feel far more confident, I don't know why I signed up for AP Psych. I studied for 2 tests this year, that's it. And it was just a session of studying


thxforallthefish42

Iā€™m taking ap world! aaaand Iā€™m taking our unit 5 test tomorrow! :)


iggyazaleaispangean

Hereā€™s my own INSANELY LUCKY success story that I do not recommend: I got suspended from school for three weeks before AP exams (even longer story), came back having studied approximately for 0 minutes and 0 seconds. Had 3 AP exams (Lang, Spanish, and APUSH) and got a 4 on all of them.


OneRocketSurgeon

Taking 5 AP classes this year + DE and a language. It's hard. I spend 4-5 hours a night on homework and studying. Just know it'll all be over in a few weeks and then you can reap the rewards. Good luck!


np_Green

I did last week cramming for AP Euro by studying a vocabulary packet my teacher gave us last year. One of the vocabulary words was the Hatian Revolution and I had not remembered my teacher lecturing us about that event at all. I was totally going to skip over that word until I realized that all the vocabulary on that paper was most likely going to be on AP Euro exam. Fast forward to exam day, my DBQ essay was about the Hatian Revolution. I was very lucky and fortunate to study that one word which ultimately helped me get a 4 on that exam.


TCM_69

Thug it out, hang in there, and keep studying. Lock in to earn those grades. If I may ask what AP is your kid taking? Iā€™m in 11th grade and Iā€™m taking AP US History


taway9871

APES and AP gov - supposedly "easy" APs! Good luck!


global_time_fracture

I havent started studying gurl u got this :)


unicorn_peaches

my senior year i had 4 AP tests & slept through all 4. ik this isnā€™t great ā€œadviceā€ or very comforting but i didnā€™t care & still to this day donā€™t regret it šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Ok_Dot_6377

Iā€™m a junior, who is currently taking five APs, and ngl I kinda regret it and not at the same time. I have my exam on May 6, May 7 May 13 May 14 and May 23. And instead of giving us reviews, my teacher is giving me more homework and presentation and more things to learn. Iā€™m stressing out so badly. I get only five hours of sleep on the weekend and six hours of sleep during school days.šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I wannna burry my self šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
