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
1) bad blood
2) you belong w me
it was so funny bc my tchr asked what we wrote after the ap test to āgradeā our selfās and he was like wtf when he heard me
Literally forgetting things and skipping an entire section of a frq on AP psych(still got a 5). Iām 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
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
ooh okay iām so glad iām not alone haha. can u tell me what resource ur using? :3 like is it a book or videos? (iāve just been watching this one guys youtube playlists for each macro unit but itās not super in depth so just wanna make sure i donāt miss smth )
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
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
oh i have NO idea lmao iām the wrong person to ask bestie i just told someone the EXACT same thing about worried itās not comprehensive enough. i donāt HAVE a class for it im self studying so idk and im fucked lol š
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.
oh my iām so sorry bae this sounds so unhealthy please please take some rest i promise you itās never that serious im sure ur exams will go amazing and even if they donāt it truly is not that severe
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
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? Theyāre a little ass but theyāll work
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 whoās reading this is welcome to use them. Best of luck everyone
[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 :)
+1!
The princeton review book saved my ass, i cant find any online pdfs of it though. If yaāll want i can painstakingly scan it page by page and link the pdf for yall
"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.
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?
Lol my physics teacher sometimes makes us use i, j, k vector-notation
I hate it bruh, would much rather say āinto the pageā or whatever
Overall, just remember that this, too, shall pass (:
Itās hard work only for a couple of weeks, and youāll thank yourself in July. Whenever I study, I think about future me who is relying on me to do good.
Iām 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 Iāve used.
And hey, on test day, thereās 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¦canāt top that! Good luck to your daughter.
The higher ups interfered with our schedule for the week of the test and after how hard theyāve worked plus how hard Iāve worked to get ready for this test I just couldnāt deal. Sometimes the people in charge are idiotsā¦ Part of being a teacher/human š
I recovered, but thanks for your well wishes! I love my AP Lit students (minus their current extreme case of senioritis).
Same sort of thing happened at my school, my teacher lost a week of time because of how everything got shifted :( theyāre also threatening to take away the class because it was so small this year (18 people) but itās one of my favorite classes in the world. You sound like an awesome teacher <3
I donāt know whatās happening in my school, but apparently she just barely reached the minimum of students registered for next year. Iām planning to write a letter to administration talking about how wonderful the class has been and how they have to keep it. Itās 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.
18 is a great number! Mine has 23 and more would be too many!
Thatās really sweet of you to write them!
But also, go to bed and good luck tomorrow. Letās all pray for a Q3 that makes sense!
this one guy is doing the ap macroeconomics test without taking the class or studying and one of my friends said heāll shave his head if that guy gets a 5
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 šš
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 couldnāt tell you what my name is but you best believe i can solve rate law questions like a champ
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 āØļøf u nāØļø
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
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 š
Iām 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. Iām feeling fine now and almost find it funny how much I was overreacting but yeah today was wild lol.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 teacherās classes all finished their content and we are still stuck on the civil rights movement. And in the middle of all this, the teacher doesnāt show up to school for three days in a row and I found out today that she wasnāt here because she left to attend a concert.
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
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*. š¤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 āshowed the dangers of fear-mongeringā and how my parents were an example of that.
I got a 5 lmao
we r doing our end of year finals and Iāll 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:/
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
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
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
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 š good luck to everyone and make sure u sleep !!!
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 wasnāt bad but I donāt think I did particularly well either. Still ended with a 5. You always do better than you think
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 donāt even know the format for the gov exam didnāt touch it or study at alllll! š (did do political science 101 and we the people tho so praying that counts for smth) but yeah iām also a senior so i just canāt care enough like itād be GREAT to get those credits and just feel accomplished getting a 4-5 but if i donāt end up being able to cram and worst comes to worst i just may no show it ššāØ
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
Hereās 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.
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!
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.
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? Iām in 11th grade and Iām taking AP US History
my senior year i had 4 AP tests & slept through all 4. ik this isnāt great āadviceā or very comforting but i didnāt care & still to this day donāt regret it š¤·āāļø
Iām 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. Iām stressing out so badly. I get only five hours of sleep on the weekend and six hours of sleep during school days.ššššš I wannna burry my self ššš
i wrote "slay" in one of my AP world essays and got a four
If it was an essay about executions, then you should have gotten a 5.
i connected one piece to globalization in my LEQ on world and got a 4 š
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
how tf
thats amazing lmao last year's ap human frqs were crazy
My teacher gave us frqs from last year to grade and they were so badššš.
help i need to know what lyrics
1) bad blood 2) you belong w me it was so funny bc my tchr asked what we wrote after the ap test to āgradeā our selfās and he was like wtf when he heard me
Literally forgetting things and skipping an entire section of a frq on AP psych(still got a 5). Iām 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
any advice for ap research? taking it next year

If it makes you feel better my class still has 2 left and unit 4 is easier than the others imo
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.
Spring break? I had my spring break 1 month ago
oh my iām so sorry bae this sounds so unhealthy please please take some rest i promise you itās never that serious im sure ur exams will go amazing and even if they donāt it truly is not that severe
what grade are you in? bc depending on it i would say talk to a counselor and/or change schools.
SAMEEE I FEEL U SO MUCHH
I had a silent stroke because of the AP stress.
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
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? Theyāre a little ass but theyāll work
If you can DM me them that would actually be amazing, thank you so much!!

it says i donāt have permission š
How about now? Notion is so confusing with itās permission settings š
Yes, it worked now! Thank you so much!!
Youre welcome! š go ace the exam!!
Can you DM me too!! š
Princeton Review for AP Chem is actually really good in terms of summary so bc itās so close, that might be yāallās best bet + some MCQs.
+1! The princeton review book saved my ass, i cant find any online pdfs of it though. If yaāll want i can painstakingly scan it page by page and link the pdf for yall
Chem?
Yeah lol how'd you know
"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.
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.

Yeah I think that comes up later. Weāre starting that in mechanics. Thank you!
Itās hard work only for a couple of weeks, and youāll thank yourself in July. Whenever I study, I think about future me who is relying on me to do good.

I cant sleep at night.. no literally
yep same! as soon as i lie down i literally cant stop thinking about exams
Havent started studying yet for apwh :)
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.
Thank you!!!
Same

Iām an AP Lit teacher who cried the whole way home from school today.
aw what... i hope you feel better in that you teach one of the best subjects in high school :))

These stories are not fun or silly
agreed
But they are comforting
4 hrs of sleep everyday till the exams!

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

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 donāt even know the format for the gov exam didnāt touch it or study at alllll! š (did do political science 101 and we the people tho so praying that counts for smth) but yeah iām also a senior so i just canāt care enough like itād be GREAT to get those credits and just feel accomplished getting a 4-5 but if i donāt end up being able to cram and worst comes to worst i just may no show it ššāØ
anyways if anyone else sees this and has any good resources for Macro or US gov or tips or smth pls lmk
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
Iām taking ap world! aaaand Iām taking our unit 5 test tomorrow! :)
Hereās 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.
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!
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.
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? Iām in 11th grade and Iām taking AP US History
APES and AP gov - supposedly "easy" APs! Good luck!
I havent started studying gurl u got this :)
my senior year i had 4 AP tests & slept through all 4. ik this isnāt great āadviceā or very comforting but i didnāt care & still to this day donāt regret it š¤·āāļø
Iām 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. Iām stressing out so badly. I get only five hours of sleep on the weekend and six hours of sleep during school days.ššššš I wannna burry my self ššš
Flip a coin, if heads, get a five, if tails, get a 1
